gerade an #posterous gedacht 🫠

@jmock it's an awesome feature.

#Posterous had the same kind of "post by email" way, way back in the day as well. I wish more services would use the feature.

Emptying email boxes. #MediaArcheology with extracts from the auto-category "socials", starting end of 2012 to 2014.
"Christophe ▱▱▱▱ a récemment rejoint #Google+"
"#Coughsurfing : Top conversations from City of Brussels"
"#Meetups this week with: Special People, Community Builders, Runners, and others"
"Your #Facebook friend Peter ▱▱▱▱ joined #Pinterest"
"Do you know Sven ▱▱▱▱▱▱ on #twitter?"
"Marie ▱▱▱▱▱ changed the privacy of the group ▱▱▱ from Open to Closed."
"#Posterous will turn off on April 30, 2013"

Who remembers Posterous? I really liked that platform, and when @ghost is up and running with ActivityPub I can see how it's going to offer all that, and more.

Just got out of a deep rabbit hole reading the epic tale of how the Archive Team volunteers preserved Posterous back in 2013.

翻到 #posterous 這個歷史 blog 平台,用 email 發文的輕量級 blog ,手機友善,有不錯的搬家匯入功能,後來被 twitter 收購後關閉 (團隊被調走)。
使用情境有點像 2000 年初大家會轉發有趣故事的 email。不過這種分享情境後來被 fb twitter 做的更完整了。
創辦人後來做了另一個宣稱永不倒閉的付費 blog 平台 #Posthaven,註冊需付費,不付費則進入唯讀模式。

這周VentureBeat介紹一個網站,這網站叫Posterous,是個簡單版的部落格、相簿平台,其實不新,我...

And now something from #Posterous from 2010, as promised.

“I decide to use Posterous after a few days and you break down on me.  Well, then.

Currently I'm working on a sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project.  I got it near the end of July.  I'm still working on it.  My theme is ‘storybook’ and I signed up because I had a crazy idea about a wolf and a girl and a witch and all their hijinks in NYC! It was inspired by ‘The Last Days of Disco Stick’ even.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Days_of_Disco_Stick #GossipGirl

Ha ha, I was looking for sales emails from GIR (I need black spatulas for sauces. I can’t deal with light spatulas staining anymore) and I found some really cringeworthy fannish #GossipGirl (2007) stuff I sent over ten years ago to a #Posterous blog. I might post some of it here in the morning.

@johnjohnston @cogdog Oh my goodness I loved #posterous as well, & still mourn it's untimely death. 😠
