I honestly didn't think that Twitter would shut Posterous down... but I should have seen it coming. As far as I know, Twitter still hasn't figured out a way to make serious income, so it was probably only a matter of time before they let Posterous fall apart.
As Posterous fades away though, I wonder if it wouldn't have been rendered dead soon anyway. With Google's Penguin / Panda updates, many marketers are seeing huge hits in their SEO effors because of "article Marketing" of which Posterous was a dandy tool. Of course, I'm sure some peoploe actually saw traffic, but others just wanted links, so they posted garbage posts.
In any case, it's going away and it looks as if Tumblr will rule the multi-media blogging space.
Anyway... this will be one of my last posts on posterous. If you're curious what I'm doing from here, feel free to check out my new blog at href="http://thesponsoringsystem.com/ where I'll be blogging about all things network marketing.
Also, I'd love to connect with you on Twitter so come say hey at http://twitter.com/marketermatt
