well, that is one thing that will definitely set it apart from tumblr. hopefully they can use it to carve out a good niche.

  No it doesn't. Tumblr already supports posting to Twitter and to Facebook. What else was there? Putting group names on a blog? Tumblr's had that for years. Posterous had a lightning start, then fell on its ass; Tumblr adopted its best features and did them better. I mean, Posterous is here bragging about allowing minor thematic changes. I've had complete HTML control of my tumblelogs for three years. Not to mention, Tumblr's default theme is not only more cutting-edge than Posterous's, it's also vastly more attractive.

    At the risk of feeding the trolls, I don't think you really understand what this release is about. It's not about theming (which by the way we support the same theme blocks and parameters that Tumblr does and its trivial to use all existing tumblr themes with Posterous). The bigger idea here is being able to autopost as a group, which has not been done before as far as I know -- it's great for team twitter accounts, for instance. Falling on its ass is rather insulting, and also totally untrue. Rory, please chill out.

      I'm confused, then; what do you mean autopost as a group? Does that mean letting multiple people submit content, which is then posted to a single Twitter feed?

        From the graphic: "When each of us posts to the group, we can choose to have it post to our own autopost destinations."
