Being accepted as a poster in a conference is a very different thing from being published in a journal, as the comments on the article you posted point out.

The actual difference depends on the journal, conference and field. In some fields (large parts of CS), the most prestigious conferences are more prestigious than most journals. OTOH, in biology, publishing in Cell or Nature may be career-changing.
