Does anybody have any real experience with how this compares to Tumblr? Could it improve my blog http://www.wellsb.com/

Sebastian:
I agree that Tumblr is really good, but here are a couple differences with Posterous:
- With Posterous, email posting is much easier. All you do is send to post@posterous.com. You can attach photos, videos or audio files and they will be automatically added to your post.
- You can engage with your readers via comments (including moderation)
- Email posting and Posterous app means you can post from anywhere and never lose a blog post idea again.
- More sites to which you can autopost.
Fortunately it's easy to try so you can decide for yourself - just go to http://posterous.com/switch/tumblr/
