That's a good point but it doesn't change that the overall dynamic of the Act would be to put way too much power in the hands of investors. I hope you're right and that's how it will work out, though.

Yes, so I've seen. My take is basically this: they're experimenting, and you have to give them kudos for that, and since this is a web startup they can work out the kinks as they refine their system.

That was hilarious. I'll keep it in mind.

by pegobry 17y ago
Great points. I'll incorporate them into the post. It's growing faster from a smaller base, though. I find more relevant that Tumblr is still much, much bigger. And I think it will stay that way.

by pegobry 17y ago
They don't contradict my thesis since Tumblr was always much bigger than Posterous and while they may have had faster growth it was never enough to catch up. Again -- I may be proven wrong in six months or a year, and if so I admit it publi

Thanks for the comment. If you have actual traffic stats I'd love to see them. ;) Also, the estimate isn't for "a couple months", but for the past 12 months, and the trend points in one direction. Even less reliable but even more "damning"

by pegobry 17y ago
You're right -- obviously this isn't a post mortem or anything. The trends could reverse, and Posterous could become wildly profitable with less users while Tumblr has plenty of traffic but no money. Although it seems pretty obvious that bo

Thanks for the kind advice. For me, blogging is a conversational medium, I try to write blog posts the way I would speak, and so it's pretty unfiltered. Also I try to be engaging. And insofar as my opinion/analysis has any value, I think it

Actually, it shows the past 12 months.

Thanks. The Company A vs Company B thing is just (to my mind) a particularly stark example of these broader points I try to make.

by pegobry 17y ago
The signup pages are an example of a broader mindset which is different at Tumblr and at Posterous and which in turn, to me, exemplifies broader trends for startups. That's what I think is interesting. I'm not saying startups should not be

Thanks. Duly noted. The Compete data seems to show Posterous stagnating just shy of 1M uniques for the past few months while Tumblr's curve is stuck "up and to the right," though.

by pegobry 17y ago
Thanks. Am I trolling? I don't think so, insofar as I use a provocative example to illustrate trends that I do think are important: the coming of age of New York as a startup hub and as a "school" for building consumer startups, and the gro

You're right that Tumblr's social aspects are more developed than Posterous's and that this has been a huge driver of their growth but to me that's not so much solving two different problems as Tumblr being more smartly designed -- realizin

I think it was only six months. And first mover advantage means little online. Facebook wasn't the first social network, Twitter wasn't the first microblogging app, etc. Posterous's had a year and a half now and it's stagnating.
