That's why I stopped using posterous. I'm not the type of guy who likes themes usually, but it just felt so bland after a while. Nobody commenting, no personalisation, there is nothing that says 'me' about the page.
With facebook, I've got my friends status messages all around, so it's a 'me' site. But posterous is like a clinic - it's just so neutral.
- rantfoil 18y agoWant to be on the private beta for themes? =) (EDIT: we don't do private betas. But trust me, its coming. ;-) ) These are all concerns we're working super hard to address. One tough thing to balance about product design is that we want the experience to not require all these extra steps. Simplicity in visual design is one way to mitigate the 'tyranny of choice' that many people face with complex software. I think in the long term this problem can be identified as the "low bar high ceiling" problem. The most well designed software is immediately approachable, but provides a ramp for users to create real, powerful, immediately useful, personal experiences. The ramp is what we seek to build. Thanks for your thoughts!
