Posterous vs. Tumblr and why?
gioia ulderigo, Jeremy, Mehmet Aydin and 17 other people liked this
Posterous: posting via email and it sends it out to multiple sites at once.
- cecily
Posterous is better for pushing content everywhere, and the commenting and favoriting system works better.
- Kamilah Gill
Posterous! They are constantly working to integrate with different systems and dead simple. Tumblr is similar but doesn't keep my attention with features the same as Posterous.
- Nakeva Corothers
Posterous: ease of use.
- nakachi
Tumblr. Cuz I saw it before I saw Posterous.
- Steven Perez
I've been thinking about moving to Posterous. I use Tumblr right now, though.
- Jason Huebel
I'm still weighing them. but I'm using Posterous almost exclusively right now & autoposting everything to tumblr.
- jbrotherlove
posterous, cleaner simpler interface, & very similar functionality in terms of media
- sofarsoShawn
Hmm, seems like posterous is gaining a lot of traction. Can you map it to your own domain and theme it? (Like I have my tumblr right now at tumblr.the-frame.com and it matches the rest of my site like it's part of it.)

I need to look more into posterous

Jandy, Posterous supports Tumblr themes.
- Vezquex: God of FF
And Jandy, yes, you can map your own domain. Glen Campbell's is an example.

And there you have it :D

I guess guys talking about ease of use... it can go either way: Posterous - email update is so straightforward; Tumblr - if you login to post, it's got templates for you, e.g. quotes, videos, photos, which is actually a lot nicer than just an HTML email interface. I use both but I did think of keeping just one of them... Well, if that happens, I'm leaning towards keeping Posterous.

Both: Posterous for broadcasting to other sites/services, Tumblr for sharing directly on Tumblr with the ability to monetize via Google Ads, affiliate ads, etc. Tumblr allows for great flexibility with adding html to your Tumblr site. Until Posterous allows for some sort of monetization of my content, I will be pointing visitors to my other sites and simply use Posterous as a broadcast tool to deliver content to those sites.
- Louis Trapani
http://holykaw.alltop.com/ - looks pretty monetized to me.
- Sanat Gersappa
both! love posterous because i can post to a single address via my mail and tumblr because it holds things differently but these two can't replace my wordpress and blogger :)
- ffcode
@Sanat, sure if you are Guy Kawasaki. Whenever I tried to add any customized code (i.e. Google Ads) it was stripped out of Posterous.
- Louis Trapani
Uhm, posterous because I always forget about tumblr even though i've had it for longer. Oh yeah! And posterous posts to other places.
- Ade
Posterous takes care of tumblr for me.
- Rohit
For me actually both
- M F
cant compare. for me, they are totally different tools and i love both.
- browneyes
Two different services..!

Tumblr. Posterous can't post "javascript:" links.
- LouCypher
I would prefer Tumblr but for their bad SEO. I had the Tumblr blog for quite some time and it doesn't quite come up in search results. Posterous on the other hand, comes up though I started having it just recently. I really wish Posterous makes posting from their web interface as good as Tumblr.
- Pavan
Posterous. Simply because it makes transferring those sudden thoughts to web pretty simple. Posterous is more about quick babbles. Tumblr is more formal.
- Amit
Expanding on my previous comment: Tumblr, because I can post by e-mail (separate e-mail addresses for each Tumblr you create), sharing to Twitter, Facebook and FriendFeed; posting by IM via AOL IM; sharing on my website with a bit of HTML code; and I can call in audio posts; sharing comments with Disqus; and a nifty little bookmarklet that is a lot more versatile than the FriendFeed bookmarklet. Oh, and I like blue better than gold.

posterous - look at what I can do modifying standard template in a easy way: http://naturewild.posterous.com/
- storvandre
Posterous is easy. Tumblr is hard. I've loved using Posterous so far.
- Mike Nayyar
Everything Posterous can do Tumblr can do better. Have people who say Posterous is easier to use used Tumblr? I don't know how you can make it easier than allowing you to email your posts or giving you a text box.
- Mark Trapp
I have both, but I use Tumblr.

They say it's the first major sports event Toronto will be hosting in about 80 years. Pitiful. Hopefully we'll be getting some much needed sports/recreation infrastructure. That is if the government doesn't squander the money, as usual.

“When the officers went to place the handcuffs on Mr. Jones he did resist by moving his hand forward instead of behind his back. They were forced to take him to the ground to get better control of him and he did sustain some injuries to his face,” Wakefield said.

Jury convicts man for shooting Jacksonville Jaguars' Richard Collier - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl...
Steven Perez and RAPatton liked this
Collier watched much of the closing arguments while seated in his wheelchair in the courtroom gallery. He was shot six times as he waited in his car outside a Jacksonville apartment building. Collier was paralyzed from the waist down and his left leg was amputated. After the verdict, Collier said he felt the jury made the right decision. "Stuff like this has to end," he said. "I can't smile because this is sickening to me."

@Brian Overpayment. I got 3 stubs with it, but I can only use one, because the total balance is only $90. The condo's occupancy was only in January, so I'm wondering if the previous owners had paid the taxes upfront

Here is what works for me: I put on some music like this: http://lala.com/zKTq Then I completely relax my body till I feel like I am made out of lead. Then I begin slowly counting from 1 to 100 in my head, by spelling the names of the numbers. If you are tired, this will exhaust you, because it uses both sides of your brain at the same time. After awhile it just gets too difficult and I give up and fall asleep. Something else that works for a friend of mine is to listen to really boring audiobooks.
