Posterous Jumps On The Revenue Wagon; Signs Coca-Cola for Promo Site
- milestinsley 17y agoFirstly, congratulations to Posterous. They are one of my favourite startups. It's impressive how their platform lets you post via email, but at first I didn't quite see how this was special, besides the ease-of-use angle. But use cases like this (Coca-Cola) clearly show that by factoring out the common entry-point of email (which everyone understands), they not only have an elegant unique value proposition, but a viable commercial product too. :)
- johnl 17y agoNeat, wondered how they were going to generate revenue. A two tier system should work, low level is free, professional level gets the bells and whistles.
- alanthonyc 17y agoFunny, I was just introducing Posterous to a friend the other day. As I was explaining it, I wondered out loud how they make money. The thought hadn't crossed my mind until then. I'm glad they're viable, they are my favorite blogging site.
- alanthonyc 17y agoOn a side note: Is it "posterous," as in making a post. Or is it "posterous," as in preposterous? I tend to think the former, but every time I bring it up with someone, they use the latter.
