Michael Marten's micro-blog

Michael Marten's micro-blog http://michaelmarten.posterous.com Occasional bits and pieces that come my way. And now they are coming your way. posterous.com Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:23:00 -0700 The end of my Posterous site http://michaelmarten.posterous.com/the-end-of-my-posterous-site http://michaelmarten.posterous.com/the-end-of-my-posterous-site

Twitter has bought Posterous.

I do like Twitter, but they ruined Tweetdeck when they bought it, and I expect they'll either close or ruin Posterous in due course (the introduction of this nonsensical 'Spaces' stuff was bad enough; if you don't know what I'm talking about, count yourself lucky...).

I'd be happy to be proven wrong on this, but in any case I'm moving most of my Posterous posts to my main website and blog. At some point, I'll close this blog down (if Twitter doesn't beat me to it).

In the meantime, please follow the links for the appropriate headings here, or just click www.marten.org.uk.

Thank you.
