Convinced. Thanks for clarifying your side of story. Characterizing other platforms as dead kind of tickled me. sorry.

Can normal users know how to use this API? Why don't you give a button which says export my posts to a text file or something else.

well said

I dont know about Tumblr. but wordpress & livejournal supports metaweblog i think. may be tumblr should support it as well.

Why not metaweblog api? Posterous has api for only posting data. I have not seen one to fetch. If you are the best kid in town why do you need to be afraid of others?

If Posterous is open about data portability, customers will be happy as well.

I am simply asking Posterous to take moral high ground. Give a feature where people can export their posts in standard data formats. then go ahead and target your competitors.
