"Why I'm Dropping Posterous This Weekend"

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. Most of our users do want the canonical url to be the posterous version.

However, this isn't true for all our users, especially those who are using us to autopost to other sites.

We'll make this a theme element so that it can be removed if desired.

Thanks

Sachin CEO, Posterous

as the posterous spokesperson alludes to in the comments, he is probably better off elsewhere.

i totally get the gripe, and i do sympathize, but it's a free service and at the end of the day it's not something that shows up on the radar screen for a large majority of their users..

Didn't notice that. Good to know, I was thinking about using Posterous as a super super easy way for some of clients to populate their blogs. That would have been a big mistake on my side!

I'm surprised its not because of that ridiculous floating toolbar.

Anyone have thoughts on Tumblr versus Posterous? Any recommendations?

You're using a hosted blogging service. And you're surprised that they want to drive traffic to the version of the content that they're hosting? I agree with their comments: You're better off somewhere else.
