5 Reasons Power-Twitter Users Might Love Posterous

I started using Posterous it's weekend. It's a web app that lets me quickly post to Twitter/Facebook/Flickr/Blog/etc from my email or the web. I think Power-Twitterers will like it because it lets them:

Tweet pictures on the go
This is the only reason I started using Posterous. I needed an easy way to take a picture on my phone and tweet it. This is the fastest method I tried.

Say more than 140-characters
Sometimes what I have to say takes more than 140-characters. Posterous gives me room to write more.

Start instantly
I didn't even mean to set up or use Posterous. But setting it up was so easy that I was even able to put it on my own domain, andrewwarner.com.

Get statistics
Posterous shows me how many people click on my links and view my pictures. That helps me figure out what people like and what I should shut up about.

Be Facebook friendly
Facebook users hate those TinyURLs that people post through Twitter. With Posterous I can post a full picture to Facebook while only posting a short URL to Twitter.

These are my early impressions. I might change my mind tomorrow if you recommend something better.

Have you tried Tumbler? It looks similar to Posterous to me.

I like Tumblr, but it was too hard to change my Name on it.
