Posterous Turns Post.ly Into A New Media Sharing Service For Twitter

So something like http://hacketal.com/i-want-a-coffee-mug-like-this-one should be posted as http://hacketal.com/random instead of http://post.ly/random
Natural, not lame.
However, this is a completely separate branch.
Hitting "Post to Twitter" puts the content in a Posterous and tweets a link to it. How does that not connect with their core product?
I maintain my stance, this seems like a desperate attempt to jump on the Twitter bandwagon instead of really thinking about how to make your core product more valuable.
