As a posterous blogger, your review caught exactly what I love about the service – it lets me blog by email, without thinking about the platform at all. And then lets me autopost with that simple ‘send’ click.

I don’t need much in the way of what tumblr’s strong in: My blog isn’t directed to short, snappy and hip, so really doesn’t fit in tumblr’s niche.

Bottom line though, they are both great services, directed to different users.
