I've done the recycled comment thing once, and it worked pretty well. However, I did introduce it as such and restructured it into a standalone piece of writing for the benefit of the reader. I haven't been able to figure out the difference between commented and uncommented blogs. There are some great blogs in each category. I think it's easier for people to comment when they see other comments (even for other posts). Otherwise, they assume it's not the thing to do on this blog and move on. At least that's my theory. Not a Posterous user so can't say much about those features.
