We both wanted hyper growth. We both wanted venture funding. We both wanted a lasting company. It's not easy and I didn't quit.

I built a team. Accountability and execution in the company. It's not as easy as it sounds.

We made mistakes and learned. I think everyone did well and are on to great things.

Re:Posterous acquired by Twitter on Tuesday March 13, 2012 @02:51AM (#3697307)
sigh. So much false information in this thread.

Everyone who joined Twitter was handsomely rewarded for their hard work and their accomplishments at Posterous. We're taking much of what we built at Posterous to make Twitter a more powerful platform.

If the employees simply got to keep their job, they wouldn't have accepted the Twitter offer and instead have joined another startup. There are plenty of great opportunities out there.

easy there bro. There were already restrictions on education purchases when I did this. I worked with the bookstore director directly to buy in volume. It was all in the open.
Re:Posterous Swaps Blog Platform for Social Network on Monday September 12, 2011 @06:51PM (#2989196)
You can still use Posterous Spaces as a public blog. Each space can be public or private.

We're solving a similar problem as google circles. The basic difference is that Posterous Spaces are symmetric sharing so all members of a space can post.

Thanks for the comment. Nothing has changed with how you can use Posterous for Sites or Groups. It's simpler, cleaner, better designed, more user focused, better mobile app, and a strong social layer.

We found our users loved having more control over how they share online. So instead of having 2 products, we simplified into one to rule them all.

You can still use Posterous Spaces as a blogging platform. We haven't removed any of the features that make Posterous great for public sharing. We made everything simpler, more social, and added a great iPhone app.
