Are you by any chance not in the U.S.? I've always gotten that error message trying to get to blog.facebook.com (from Japan).

Go in through some U.S.-based proxy and it ought to work.

Weird that they would block non-US access to their blog.

I will use this, because the last time I wanted to upload a picture to facebook, I had to use some awful Java applet that crashed my browser (Note: this is not so much anti-Java as anti-today's-implementations-of-things-surrounding Java).

How is that not anti-Java? Today's implementations (there's more than one?) of things surrounding Java are all we have.

Yes, there's more than one. On Ubuntu, for instance, just look at how many JVMs there are to choose from in the package manager.

I love the email name I got. Any time the words "knobby" and "moat" are what get randomly generated I snort like a drunk frat boy.

Promotion of unimpressive new Facebook features hardly qualifies as something which "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity", which is, roughly, the most important measurement of weather something should be posted here.

Begone!

Poster here. This "unimpressive feature" is at the heart of YC backed Posterous. Thought it would be interesting to see the comparison.

And if you want to talk about site guidelines, your comment is against them:

"Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."

Many sites have email as a feature. We're thrilled to see more attention being paid to that feature.

But our vision is quite a bit more than just that feature.

So is Facebook's. ;-)

It's easy to frame the marketplace as a zero sum game. Someone's win equals your loss and vice versa.

The reality is that model is a massive oversimplification, and thinking that way is value destructive.

I didn't say it was zero sum. I like Posterous quite a lot.

I found it interesting. This feature seems like it obviates some of the value provided by services like Posterous, at least for Facebook users.
