Here's the scanned pdf - sorry, but I don't have time to transcribe it! The iPaper seems slow, so you might want to download the pdf instead.

Posterous Catches Friendfeed
Data via trends.google.com
Since it was acquired, I have basically abandoned Friendfeed. I love the service, but I am waiting to see how the team integrates it into Facebook.
Unsurprisingly, traffic to the Friendfeed site has plummeted since the acquisition in August. And Posterous now has nearly as much traffic (Posterous is the red line above), but trails Tumblr by a wide margin and Twitter by light years.
What does this say about the future of lifestreaming services? I still see a big space in between in between blogs and Twitter that allows you to have a hub and spoke strategy and post in multiple formats. That's one reason I am bullish about both Posterous and Tumblr.
First Release of Google Wave Robot for Posterous
This is the first public version of Google Wave Robot for Posterous. It is developed by @lookon with Posterous API and Google Wave Robot Python Library. It is hosted at posterous-robot.appspot.com. Here is its function and problems.
Attention: the robot addresss - posterous@appspot.com
Function:
1.Login to Posterous (your login will be cached for 1 day)
2.write blog to your Posterous site.
3.Tags are supported. (just use title((tags:a,b,c)) as your blogpost's title like you do in Email)
4.You will get the post.ly blog url in the wave after publishing.
5.(2008/8/9)Support for rich-text.(Google Wave Robot for Posterous now supports Rich-Text)
6.(2008/8/10)Support for multi-site settings.(Reply '/site' to choose which site to post.)
Problems:
1.Does not support rich-text now. (I've built a new version that support rich-text now. Feel free to use it.)
2.Does not support Edit. (for Posterous API currently does not support edit)
When the Google Wave api or Posterous API updates, I will update the posterous robot and release a new version.
You can get how to use the robot by reading "How to write a blog using Google Wave Robot for Posterous".
Enjoy~
