VentureBeat: Posterous’ dead simple blogging gets dead simple bookmarklet

    DS, Posterous bookmarklet does both of those things. =)

    Oh, snap!

    Noovo.com bookmarklet is smarter. It automatically detects media and if you select a text, it will be included in the post.

    Thanks for the feedback and the coverage, Anthony. Good point re: site selection in "Advanced" -- we'll probably be moving the site-selection dropdown to the top level in our next refresh, possibly later today.

    Great, but how on earth will these guys make a dime?
  • Facebook User · 10 months ago
    The same way any other host of similar sites do. "But how will these guys make money?" is a cheap and intellectually lazy default response -- more often than not, a popular service will be able to generate significant revenues, and in this case, the path one would take to do so is very straightforward.

    The bookmarklet is a cool service but isn't this simply THE feature set of Y Combinator company SNIPD www.snipd.com ? Garry I think its a great fit and again am a fan of SNIPD and this would seem to be a smart partnership, but why no mention of Alex and his efforts?

    Fair enough, Greg, though I think Tumblr is by far the most relevant comparison. I'm more interested in how the bookmarklet it enhances Posterous, not as a standalone feature.

    Posterous is awesomely simple experience. We should all learn from how clean and simple they make things.

    Complexity is pre-Posterous.

    HAHA I love it, Dave. Complexity is Preposterous. Simplicity is Posterous.

    I gotta put that on a t-shirt.
