I don't get the whole kerfuffle - the people that are most likely to get pissed off over the "dying platform" verbiage are the exact opposite of the target demographic anyway. If you're happy with your blogging platform of choice, then you're probably not the type to switch away.
But if you have gripes, or have at least wondered if there's something easier than might keep the posts flowing, then posterous is for you. And they're showing they're dedicated to ease-of-use by rolling out 15 different importers.
- skmurphy 16y agoAl, this argues for a different positioning than 'dying platform.' For example, "unhappy because WordPress cannot let do x?" or "tired of waiting for TypePad to support Y?" switch to posterous.
- tiles 16y agoPosterous looks fascinating. Many blogs are using it. I was considering switching from tumblr to see if there were compelling benefits. But this campaign turned me off; Posterous, by claiming it is the successor of all blogging software, makes me suspicious how they will react when someone comes along to obsolete them. If they're in it to win, how do I have any assurance I'll benefit from their service if they "lose"?
