Breaking News
What’s really exciting is the potential in news to break faster and with more information than every before. Sure, with Twitter, news has been known to break fast and with the odd image linked from within the Tweet too. With PicPosterous however, you’ve got video and images being immediately uploaded and shared across all the viral hubs (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc..).
Yes, Posterous and PicPosterous are very intriguing, but sometimes I think they go overboard in trying to keep things simple. PicPosterous, for example, could do with the ability to add a bit of text to the album post, and it would be nice if you could delete individual photos from an album, which doesn't appear to be possible even on the Posterous web site. And both PicPosterous and the "Share to Posterous" bookmarklet need to allow you to select which services to post to, rather than the current "all or nothing" approach.
All in all, though, I do think Posterous is managing to make "blogging" cool again.
