Posterous has announced updates to its mobile apps, for both iOS and Android. The updated versions of the apps bring support for creating and managing Posterous Groups, which is an email list-like service that can be used either as a traditional email list, or as a group sharing service. Up until now, you could only set up a new group via email. Once a group is created its members can share ...

Posterous and TwitPic have been in an ongoing battle over Posterous' efforts to release an app that lets you pull your TwitPic photos into your Posterous blog. After the first attempt, TwitPic blocked Posterous entirely, and threatened to sue, so Posterous took down the app. Now it's back, though, as an Adobe-Air-based export tool that TwitPic can't block (yet). The new tool lets you sign in ...

Posterous, continuing its 15-ways-to-switch-in-15-days tirade, has today enabled its Blogger importer. Posterous's vice president of marketing, while talking to Spanish tech blog Genbeta [translated], says that this importer in specific is one of the big ones: "This launch is very important to us because Blogger has been one of the most requested services by our users, especially outside the ...

Posterous, as I'm sure you're all aware, is the supremo light-weight blogging platform. Not only is it fantastically easy to use, but it's also the king of flexibility and interoperability -- you can post to your blog via email, bookmarklet, mobile phone and even Twitter! It also has the ability to import from other platforms: WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr and switch from many others -- but yesterday ...

It's weird to get excited about a blogging platform adding pages you can customize using your browser (doesn't everyone have those?) but for Posterous, it's a bold new feature. The lightweight blogging service distinguished itself with a unique post-via-email interface that meant you didn't even have to sign up for an account to get started. That works great for impromptu short posts, but what if ...

Ning, the company that makes it easy for anyone to create a free, custom social network, is dropping the free part of that equation. After a little business analysis, Ning determined that a whopping 75% of their traffic was coming from paid "premium" networks, not the free networks that most people associate with the company. In response, they're dropping free networks -- and a big chunk of the ...

[Update - As noted in the comments, it appears that themes.posterous.com is not an official directory of themes as the title of this post suggests, but rather is a 3rd-party theme directory that cleverly grabbed the "themes" subdomain at posterous.com.] The super-simple blogging platform Posterous has released a theme directory, offering up eight new themes in addition to the five default ...

The super-simply blog platform Posterous has just released a new feature on its post.ly domain, which was previously used only as a URL shortener. For those that are not familiar, Posterous is a blogging platform that makes posting dead simple. You just send an email to post@posterous.com, and if you don't already have a blog there one is created for you. Subsequent emails are treated as new ...

Last week the folks at Tumblr hinted that some changes were coming for the platform, and the first signs of that are emerging with a huge update to how users can customise the look and feel of their Tumblogs. For the less-technical minded there's now support for customised fonts, and images in themes that can be edited directly within Tumblr's Customise window and if you're a code-minded user, ...

There are many ways to share your content online with family and friends. From Flickr to Facebook to MySpace, YouTube and Twitter, there's no shortage of ways, or platforms, to express yourself via words, pictures and videos. Several months ago I was introduced to another of these type of sites called Posterous. At Posterous, much like these other sites, you can post words, pictures and videos ...

Posterous is a new blogging service that's being touted as even simpler and easier to use than Tumblr. The process is extraordinarily simple: send something to post@posterous.com. Hey, look, you've started a blog. When you want to add something to it, send another e-mail to the same address. Simple as that. Supported attachments include everything from JPGs to PDFs to Mp3s. It's not as if Tumblr ...
