Hey guys. I'm the cofounder of Posterous. Yes, someone did figure out how to post to Dustin's site today. This security hole is now fixed. We had a specific problem with the way we dealt with SPF records. Dustin didn't set any up, and there

Hey guys. I'm the cofounder of Posterous. We have looked into this issue and have confirmed this is not a security hole. No personal information is revealed to users other than through obscure links that are only available to the true site

I agree, and it will do that eventually. They are making it an open standard so it can be integrated into other devices. And i'm confident the 3G limitation is temporary

Google is indexing Facebook's "Opt out of emails from Facebook" page for email addresses that were submitted using the "Find a friend" feature. I checked out the Google site and saw a few addresses in the format name.secret@blogger.com, whi

Certain aspects of Mobile Me need work, like iDisk. Other aspects work well, like email and Mobile Me sync. I'm saying that Apple should make Mobile Me free, and put more resources behind it to make it better. They should focus on increas

I looked into Trinet. Their cost shocked me. It wasn't something I could justify spending money on, especially since setting up health care and most other HR tasks are one time costs.

I didn't have a good experience with a broker. They were typical sleazy salesmen type. They pushed way too many options on me, instead of really trying to figure out the best plan for us. Ultimately what it boiled down to is there were so m

Hey guys, Posterous partnered with Viglink.com back in December as an experiment to see if we could generate revenue by adding an affiliate code to links that don't already have one. We chose to work with Viglink because their technology do

Not sure what's going on there. That site isn't even a Posterous website so I don't understand why you think those redirects are related to Posterous

I don't know what most of those things are, and I'm guessing most of the world doesn't either.

When we launched posterous in 2008, yes it was missing a bunch of features. But look at us now (or actually, in a month, we have a lot of stuff about to launch). We'll have everything all other blog platforms have, and more. But SIX YEARS a

yep, new web editor that allows uploads and editing of all posts.

one photo per post, 5 minutes per video, one audio file per week. can't mix media in a single post. Our goals for Posterous are just totally different than what Tumblr is going for. We're aiming for Wordpress.com, not a microblog.

by a4agarwal 16y ago
Tumblr is a microblog. Posterous is a full blog + website creator that doesn't have to impose artificial limitations and post types in order to be simple.

Think about the millions of businesses out there who need a website, and want to be on Twitter and Facebook. Most of these people have no clue how to setup a self hosted wordpress site. And even if they knew how, don't have the time to do i

"How does a universal interface look like, that allows arbitrary other apps to get photos from iPhoto" Apple has an iLife media browser. It lets any application access any of the media on your system, including photos and music.

You're kidding, right? iPhotos email button for photos is exactly my point. There should be intelligent communication and data sharing between apps, not at the Finder level. in iPhoto, there's a preference to set which email client it sends

Every app should be able to access the music, photos, videos, and other files on a system through smart APIs. But the user doesn't need to know about it or manage it

the finder was rewritten (so i was wrong about that) but it didn't functionally change. Apple isn't actively innovating within the Finder. Spaces and Expose are not "Finder" directly, but they are still concepts trying to deal with the issu

post.ly took us about a week to build, and really shows the power of our API. It's a great way to teach people about Posterous, and trounce all the other Twitter media services out there.

tjpick thanks for pointing out how you can get more than 50 posts out by using the page parameter. Yes, the documentation is not very clear at all and we need to fix that. rizzn, it's true that most of our users wouldn't be able to use the
