SAN FRANCISCO |
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Twitter Inc said Monday that it has acquired Posterous, a blogging platform known for its slick digital media-sharing interface.
The microblogging service said in a blog post that the Posterous staff "has built an innovative product that makes sharing across the Web and mobile devices simple — a goal we share."
Founded in 2008, Posterous is one of the better-known companies emerging from the tech incubator Y Combinator.
The value of the deal was not announced.

im a long term posterous user and not happy about this – twitter will put posterous in maintenance mode and slowly shut it down.
i’ve decided to do something about this – I’ve setup http://p.ostero.us. a new paid hosted blog platform built using octopress especially for ex-posterous users.
If your a posterous user and looking to migrate please check out http://p.ostero.us.
cheers
