Posterous will close on April 30th 2013. So ended my experiment with  that form of  micro-publishing. Tumblr had become vastly more popular than Posterous in the field of short-form publishing or “microblogging.”

It's a pity. . Posterous offered the content and platform that pointed a direction to a more perfectly multi-media future for Twitter, where it could become possible to build a  network around both Posterous and Twitter users, and then allow for the melding of tweets, blogs, photos, and video. However, Twitter were interested in the talent not the product.

Posthaven  emerges? A  working version  by the  former founders of Posterous Garry Tan and Brett Gibson, which  can import Posterous blogs,  will be rolled out in late February. It will cost $5 per month.

This blog will be incorporated into  my poodlewalks weblog on the Wordpress platform.
