I am simply asking Posterous to take moral high ground. Give a feature where people can export their posts in standard data formats. then go ahead and target your competitors.
- lyime 16y agoYou can easily get all the data from XML feeds. Or you can use their API to get all the data out through XML or JSON. Both are standard formats. I am pretty sure no one offers a export my data function. Not even Tumblr.
- techtruth 16y agoI dont know about Tumblr. but wordpress & livejournal supports metaweblog i think. may be tumblr should support it as well.
- irahul 16y agoPosterous supports XML/JSON but that's not good enough for you since they don't support metaweblog. While we are at it, I would want Posterous to support .txt, .ini, .html, NewsML and any other plethora of the formats that exists. Your argument is flawed and you are changing your base premise when called out.
- a4agarwal 16y agotechtruth, we do offer your data in standard formats: XML through our API. See: http://posterous.com/api/reading http://posterous.com/api/reading What exactly are you looking for? We're open to suggestions and will gladly expand our API to keep Posterous open and flexible. There's no hypocrisy here. Our goal is to let users move into and out of posterous at will, and use whatever service they find to be best. Thanks!
