We've never claimed to be a microblog. This has been on the roadmap from the beginning. It's very simple: we listen to users and implement features to delight them and make the service more valuable for them.
- byrneseyeview 17y agoI am definitely glad to see the feature added -- I just think the amount of attention it gets is a little excessive.
- kineticac 17y agopeople are excited by it, nothing wrong with that =)
- thorax 17y agoI've been waiting for it from day one. It literally changes my plans for my blog. My wife loved the backend but hated the front-end looks. It's a big deal to some of us.

- netsp 17y agoI don't think the comment is really about microblogs. It's about the cycle of some product becoming popular, adding features, becoming complicated, being competed against by newcomers that say "at least 80% of people don't need 80% of this stuff" and come up with something much simpler that gets the job done, adding features, becoming complicated. That's not necessarily bad. I don't think byrneseyeview is suggesting this is something you shouldn't do, just observing patterns.
- mhansen 17y agoPlease implement Markdown next: Markdown is such a perfect match with your email-based submissions.
- tdavis 17y agoGarry promised me Markdown was after theming. I'm giving him a day, then I'm breaking his legs.
- bradgessler 17y agoIf you need to run your blog post through a markdown filter, just send it to garry@posterous.com. It might take a few hours, but it will eventually get done.
