After browsing through it for a few minutes, Posterous seems like a boring site to me, but that's my attitude toward most pure blogs. As you mentioned, some users (and certainly those who maintain the website) will probably love the simplicity, and it's always cool to see people trying new ways of doing things, but I wouldn't have any use for it.

At first glance, it doesn't appear to be an environment that could foster any sense of community. If you're going to compare that site with MemeStreams, I think you have to consider its ability to facilitate the sharing of information and social networking. Posterous reads more like a collection of personal diaries.

Stefanie, thanks for your note about Posterous. Just wanted to say we wanted to get out the most basic functionality as soon as we could and iterate with feedback from real users.

And you're absolutely right That's what the users want: Great community. We just launched last week but we're going to be adding features fast.

We think Memestreams could be a great ally in that in the future-- we could push content to Memestreams so that it's as easy to post to Memestreams as it is to use email. This is a part of our long term vision of being able to get anything I want online in the communities I participate in, FAST. I don't want to upload a photo to Memestreams, Flickr, Facebook, and my Wordpress Blog 5 times. I want to send one email attachment and have it show up everywhere.

Best regards,
Garry
