I actually biked 20 miles today instead of 12. Woohoo! This is perfect TX weather for biking. I shan't think it will get better than this for quite sometime. #bikingintexas #texasspring

@danbenjamin This is the question: How can an avid Mac fan/user/geek-type person come to be involved in a 5x5 production? #5x5podcasts #Mac

Posterous is still the 'Dead Simple'-est way to micro-blog on the Web.
You can look around and check it out. I was surprised that after all this time since it's inception that it STILL IS the easiest way to micro blog AND get that micro-blogging Word Out to your readers through it's social media 'cross-posting' feature which was pioneered by those same folks, Garry Tan and Sachin Agarwal.
It sure is a great service and I certainly hope to see it survive. It has been subsumed by Twitter, but I hope that Twitter keeps it around as a new complimentary service to the Twitter family. I think it is a great tie-in service to what Twitter represents. I guess we shall see.
Many have said that the future looks grim as regards Twitter acquisitions, and yet Twitter has not acquired anything like Posterous in the past, so I am eager to see what happens. Sure, the writing is on the wall. You can see that when you look at
Twitters' blog post about the acquisition and the fact that they address the user's fear of having to move their blog (and how they will make it as painless as possible) within the first several sentences. Posterous says much the same thing in their blog
post.
Everyone looks happy and that's awesome! The Posterous folks deserve this buyout! They've been great to me over the past 4 years and I'm really appreciative that they introduced me to the world of the micro-blog. I hope that what they created has life and breath enough within Twitter's birdhouse, to live on.

While this tool looks like a painless way to backup your Posterous blogs for easy migration, there can be a few hitches to the process as I've come to discover. Fortunately, the developer(s) is/are a very 'hands on' group located in Europe. I have yet to make a successful backup of the entirety of my three blogs that have been hosted by Posterous over the past four years. But I do have faith that the process will eventually be smoothed out. It appears that a lot of the glitches are on the Posterous' Servers side of things. If you have blogs on Posterous and you are looking to export your material and not simply "forget about it" and begin again, then this single use tool may be something that you should check out given, of course, that your machine of action will be a Mac. For $3.99 it's certainly not much of an expenditure and depending on the size of your blog(s), this one-click solution may more than pay for itself many times over in the time, sweat and frustration saved.

This article is interesting. That's not to say that it answers the question why because it doesn't. Rather it offers a few micro details that serve to stimulate even more speculation.

The Only issue that I can see here is that it looks like you are only able to share/post it from your iOS device (that created the 'journal' Only, i.e. Not other iOS devices as well) ONCE. After that you have to search for and then share it from the original link that was generated when you first posted it. You cannot go back and re-share via a different method OR import to iTunes. You get one opportunity to choose your method of exportation at the time of finished creation, so choose carefully.

If you choose to see the film 'The Tree of Life' do not expect a 'regular' film per sé. This film is more of an abstract piece of art. Good for what it is, but potentially very disappointing when it comes to what most people think of as a film.
