Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have Tumblr, and I'm able to email posts already. So besides the lack of signup, what other incentive is there to this?

Hi there

Posterous just launched on Saturday and we are operating on the simple maxim of ship early and ship often. We wanted to release the most useful early version of our work and get better fast. We ARE missing some stuff, but we won't be for long.

@xlerate - yes, you can add email addresses to your account and they all work.

@clarion - We're an ally of Tumblr. The long term goal is for us to become a distribution point for all your social stuff online. I hate having to upload a photo 5 times for it to show up everywhere -- Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, my blog, my Tumblr, etc. We want to make it as simple as one email attachment and you're done.

Thanks downloadsquad for covering us!

-Garry, cofounder, Posterous.com
