It's interesting because I had the exact same initial reaction: uh-oh, did they change anything about my blog or group?
Personally, I almost never interact with posterous through the dashboard, but this move makes it seem that I'm either very much in the minority of their user base, or that they're no longer interested in serving my use case. Possibly both.
The net result is that where I would likely have used them without hesitation for another project I was planning on before these changes, now I feel like I need to look around and explore alternatives (including possibly reverting to a self-hosted WordPress blog).
- radicaldreamer 15y agoHmm, nothing has changed with sites and groups, this is a new way to display and interact with them. They all have their own standalone sites just as they always did and are just as customizable as before. The main difference is that interacting with content across multiple sites is much more streamlined through the new interface.
- jgilliam 15y agoExcept they aren't called sites and groups any more. You're really underestimating how important labeling is. EDIT: Lots of people want sites, lots of people want private groups, but no one wants a space simply because they don't know what that is.
- a4agarwal 15y agoThanks for the comment. Nothing has changed with how you can use Posterous for Sites or Groups. It's simpler, cleaner, better designed, more user focused, better mobile app, and a strong social layer. We found our users loved having more control over how they share online. So instead of having 2 products, we simplified into one to rule them all.
