Mark,
Brilliant post. I came across this searching for a way to import an RSS feed into Posterous. I'm new to the terminology, but your concepts hit the nail on the head. I now understand that I've been trying to use Posterous as both a lifestreaming aggregator and a broadcaster! Like you said, it's really only designed to broadcast, but I've been trying to get more out of it — and it's really a pain! You said that there are many other options for lifestreaming. Which services are the best to use in your opinion? What can best capture all my activities across the web automatically, and at the same time be a service to keep me connected across my several social networks by cross-updating?
Thank you for your thoughts and clearly explaining the problem I didn't know I had!

Just tracked down this post, which is highly lucid as well as practical. I'm currently using Posterous as a running gloss or set of marginalia on my 'macro' blog on TypePad. I appreciate your input and will track you blog going forward.

I need the import funcationality. Flickr is a big part of what I do. Posterous doesn't allow me the control I need when posting there. With tools like Lightroom 3 integrating so closely with Flickr that's what I'll be using to post there. As cool as posterous is, if I can't import those photos into it, it's mostly worthless to me. I can't figure out how I'd use it. Maybe they can just pick select services. No rss feeds. And if they import something like Twitter, filter out @ replies and retweets.

I'd really live it if they could import my Twitter then push the photo back out to a couple other blogs including posterous of course.

Mark, There are so many aspects of this new Web 2.0 that I don't think there is enough hours in the day to keep up with them all. You have done an excellent job of helping me understand Postereous and the concept of lifestreaming. And it is an added bonus for me that you mentioned aspects of Tumblr as well.
I have a Postereous blog but I am not really sure if I need it, since my primary blog is with WordPress.com. I went to Diigo (a bookmarking service that I absolutely love using to build my Personal Learning Network - PLN) to search for Postereous and found nothing. So I added this article (which I found on Google) and now it is being shared with the rest of the Diigo community.

Thank you for this very insightful post.

[...] good, but is Posterous really a Lifestreaming technology? Well, sort of. Mark Krynsky offer his thoughts on Posterous as a Lifestreaming platform, arguing that it’s not a “true Lifestreaming service,” and I tend to agree. [...]
