If you didn’t read.. Twitter bought up Posterous today. I gotta say.. it was quite good timing on my part. Yesterday I started migrating off of Posterous back to my own WordPress blog.
Don’t get me wrong, Posterous was great. I was always torn between running my own WordPress instance, Tumblr and Posterous. In the end.. for a couple years I kept Posterous around. The ability to email in your posts was quite nice. I finally decided that more control is what I wanted.. and so I am in the process of moving back to WordPress.
One small beef with Posterous? I couldn’t easily export my data out. In this day and age that is a complete FAIL! Frustrated to say the least. Oh well.. live and learn.
