I left a comment on the posterous site, but I have to say: I don't like the posterous commenting system very much. It doesn't appear to be threaded, and it links to my _posterous_ profile rather than letting me specify what to link to. My posterous profile only shows my posterous content. That kind of walled garden is annoying in 2009. - DGentry

Actually, you can add any site you want if you log out of your Posterous account. I agree though, it needs threaded comments. I will relay that back to them when I see the Posterous team this week. - Steve Rubel from email

I'd prefer to not have to log out of my posterous account, but I guess thats a viable alternative. If you're meeting with them soon, one other suggestion of something to talk about: I added links to my profile with rel="me". Their site removed the rel=me, and surprisingly did not add rel="nofollow". In fact none of the links on my posterous have a nofollow. Thats their choice of course, but aren't they concerned about spambots automating creation of posterous accounts in order to harvest pagerank? - DGentry

I just tried it, creating a new posterous from a different email account. I was able to include links to arbitrary sites, without a nofollow. This could be automated easily. If someone attempted to do this on a large scale posterous would surely notice, but nonetheless spambots might try it. - DGentry

I submitted the observations about nofollow as feedback on the posterous site. I also submitted a request to allow rel="me", as it seems harmless. - DGentry

thanks for sharing... been looking for something like this for my iPhone. - andy
