Today I woke up to an email from Posterous. Posterous is an online blogging platform which aims to make publishing blogs easy.
In the email there was a statement which let me know that Posterous has been taken over by Twitter.
Here's what was in the email:
We'll just have to see what happens with this: will Twitter expand into being a full blogging platform? How long will Posterous still be around for?
Posterous is very similar to Tumblr (and in a way Blogger too...), but with Twitter's backing/guidance/orders it may grow quick and big. Lets see what happens.
For the readers of this blog: do not worry, I will continue to use the reliable tried and tested Blogger platform.
