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!

I have noticed a recent surge in users starting to use and adopt Posterous. One of the biggest reasons for this was the proclamation by Steve Rubel that he was killing his blog in favor of Lifestreaming and choosing to use Posterous as his new platform. As a result Steve has become the poster boy for Posterous (pun intended) attracting many people to try the service. His move caused a huge reaction on the web, some of which wasn’t positive. In a recent interview with Posteruous founder Sachin Argawal, he also acknowledged Steve’s use of Lifestreaming as a term that best describes his service. I recently met Steve and told him that while I was happy he had brought huge attention to Lifestreaming, I believe that many people are confused by the term. My hope is to try and clarify some of that confusion here.
Lifestreaming started out initially as a model that revolved around importation and aggregation: a place to roll-up all your streams. But that's changing.
We're proud to announce Posterous has been added as an official Send To Location in Google Reader.
