Also, I'd love to see some numbers, but I would bet that a far larger number of people post via the web or other methods than do by email, despite that being its original purpose.
If I was CEO of Posterous

#12Ashton Kutcher's supposedly "directly responsible" for http://nowmov.com existing. (cross between Chatroulette interface and a Tweetmeme for YouTube videos.) http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/07/yc-funded-nowmov-sit-back-r...
If I were Posterous, I'd create a Nowmov for Posterous posts, and then go find some high-profile feedback.
edit: the other thing I'd be interested in seeing on Posterous is an easy way to cross post to other people's group blogs, and some incentive to do so. For example, I created a group blog http://hackerbra.in, but there are no users to post to it. However, there are posts by hackers on Posterous that could be submitted to it; the question is how to make that worthwhile? Could it be automatically done, eg I choose some blogs and have the new blog fill up with posts automagically?

#14It's "If I were the CEO of Posterous." Sorry to be the grammar pedant, but this one always bugs me.
Although this bugs me too, it's not incorrect. It's perfectly understandable in American English, and "correct" in other varieties of English.

#1510 industries is a lot of work. The idiosyncrasies will kill you. Be as generic as possible.
I say 'Go after Wordpress'

They mean different things, no? If I were CEO, I'd do things differently. If I was CEO, I don't remember it.

#19I can't believe that all these companies don't make it easier to import. A really (but really) great Wordpress importer must surely make your service attractive to the millions of WP'ers out there? Writing importers for similar services is a great idea if you want to grow.
FWIW: I've done imports between blogspot, movable type, and wordpress a number of times with rarely a problem.
I suppose it's sort of diabolically evil of Posterous here. They're really just releasing a feature every other blogging service has had for years, but doing it in a way that's great PR.
