- ALee 16y agoDo you KNOW that Tumblr doesn't do this? Dig a little and I think you'll be surprised how many other services (including Tumblr) do this too...
- pclark 16y agoTumblr absolutely does not do this.
- ALee 16y agoOops, so sorry to Tumblr. This was a reckless comment and I'm in the wrong here. I misheard from a good friend that Tumblr does do this, he was actually referring to a number of services. Just received an email from Tumblr explicitly saying they don't. If I could delete the comment I would (but HN doesn't allow that), but I'll let this stand as my mistake and I'll back out from the Eastside-Westside tech battle.
- xelipe 16y agoDoes Posterous have a reblog, favorite, follow, follower stream features? It seems that Posterous is trying to emulate some of the marketing mojo from Apple's switch ad campaign. This aggressive switch campaign might indicate that the number of new users to the system might have plateaued. Does Posterous post the active users, monthly impressions, etc?
- bentlegen 16y agoDid Posterous stop inserting affiliate links? And if not, did they end up officially informing their users?
- nedwin 16y agoThis program was cancelled some time ago.
