I'm surprised you said "Posterous and WordPress" and not "Posterous and Tumblr", since I see more similarity in the latter.
Regardless, I think Posterous boasts simplicity over WordPress.
A standard WordPress install starts you off with 7 different active widgets. There are thousands of WordPress plugins to do thousands of things.
Posterous is an example of "less is more", in my opinion.
I'm much more likely to read a Posterous blog(with standard themeing) all the way to the end than I am most WordPress blogs.
- iamdave 16y agoI think the Posterous/Tumblr dichotomy is a false one. Where they're both ultra-simple microblogging platforms, tumblr is easily more community centric, insular in focus than Posterous, and in my opinion that's where it's strength is. Nearly every avenue of a default feature now found in tumblr has come from innovation that users have made use of when the site was still young and lacked considerable features.
