Wouldn't Posterous have been considered spamming a few years ago? I'm regularly seeing people post one thing to Posterous and having it appear identically on tons of different services - that was considered a huge faux pas and a sign of blatant spamming not very long ago. I appreciate the idea, but I often feel like Posterous is spamming me.

seems like the amount of divergence between the social media sites has made it acceptable. Everyone has a different network on each site, hence, they want to reach them all. Yet, if I follow you on all of them, I see too much of your content going by. The next wave of socail media smarts perhaps? Each knows the people that follow you - only sends updates once to those people? Would definitely be nice.

It's worth noting that Posterous allows the user to selectively post to different services (a la twitter+flickr@posterous.com), but it's very easy to produce a lot of duplication across the various networks when used in the "stock" configuration (setting up all of your stuff and posting via post@posterous.com).

Posterous is a tool, and much like any other tool it can be used correctly or incorrectly. Spamming all of one's content everywhere is only going to annoy people. Using the tool correctly (selectively posting the right content to the right places in the right context) is fine... and it's a darn good tool for doing that.
