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.
