Comments on: How to do almost anything with Posterous http://thenextweb.com/2009/08/13/posterous/ International technology news, business & culture Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:24:57 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark Kennard http://thenextweb.com/2009/08/13/posterous/#comment-476279 Mark Kennard Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:35:00 +0000 http://thenextweb.com/?p=23499#comment-476279 I agree, Posterous is a very cool platform, for all sorts of uses but, the API is almost useless. The response times are so slow that it's unusable for any real-time use. I was trying to create a mashup using the explore/public endpoint, and I'm seeing response times of well over 50 seconds. It's a shame really, as the API could really help Posterous in all sorts of ways. I agree, Posterous is a very cool platform, for all sorts of uses but, the API is almost useless.

I just love Posterous! It is an awesome online social tool. I use it for aggregating my social messages to Twitter, Facebook etc. I also use it as a private, password protected video blog for my family.

I have tried many different ways to achieve this but every single time it posts to the wordpress blog the text is under them image, even though it was aligned="left" in the email on the Posterous site. Any help is appreciated.

I like both, Tumblr has better customization features, Posterous is more powerful when it comes to synchronization. Just started using it, going back and forth between posterous and my tumblr blog.

I got that many viewers to my blog on posterous but none of them ever clicked through to my main website which was the whole point of setting up posterous.

Also they could do with a bit of updating on their themes. Very limited range.
