First experiences with my Posterous at http://scobleizer.posterous.com/
Some first time problems upon trying Posterous:
1. Autoposting has me torn. I'm now investing a lot of time in Facebook, Twitter, and FriendFeed. I far prefer people to hand post things made for the specific audiences that show up there. Plus, it's very easy to get duplicates. I already send my stuff from FriendFeed to Twitter, and that caused dupes on my first try here. Sometimes not easy for a beginner to figure out.
2. I tried a video from Blip.tv and it came in black. I was using the bookmarklet. I must have screwed something up, but since it says it supports Blip, I thought it would work and it didn't. So that needs more QA work.
Some good things?
Most everything here is very slick. Feels better than Wordpress.com in a lot of areas and I can see that this will be a powerful place for me to kick off certain kinds of conversations.
I must admit, I don't like popularity based lists of suggestions. I wish we could come up with something better. Maybe something that looks like alltop.com?
Anyway, the one feature that Steve Rubel told me about is when I want to post a long Tweet from SimplyTweet, my iPhone app that I use to Tweet from, it will automatically send to Posterous if it's too long. I'll try that tomorrow. In the meantime, this is very nice.
Oh, and one other disclaimer: I see that this is running on the Rackspace Cloud. That makes my heart warm!
