- frossie 16y agoAre they doing public blogs only? If not, how are they handling authentication?
- truebosko 16y agoVery nice! I just switched our company blog to posterous a few days ago. The setup was a breeze, adding contributors was simple, and posting-via-email is just oh so nice. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the theme editor is kind of slow if you're doing your own HTML, but that's understandable at this time.
- j_baker 16y agoI understand the desire to dominate the market, but isn't it a bit much to call other platforms "dying"?
- ydant 16y agoI don't quite get this. It seems to conflict with their existing import and offers a different set of services to import from. If you have an account, you can import from Tumblr, Blogger, Wordpress (even a self-hosted Wordpress, Movable Type, Xanga). If you go to the URL at the link above (http://posterous.com/switch http://posterous.com/switch), it allows you to import from Tumbler, Ning. I'm assuming they will ultimately be the same set of services.
