Honestly, I'm surprised. I impressed and surprised by the import level of the posts by my fellow Posteratti. No, I'm not surprised because I think my posts are by far the most stunning (which I do). I'm impressed because insightful, controvertial, moronic, and beautiful posts are only getting a few dozen clicks.

I'm talking about posts that can wake you out of your vile American fast food 2pm sugar crash. I'm talking about posts that you'll want to forward and openly cc everyone on your contacts just to rouse support for your own antithetical view of whichever posterous you're incensed by which you're incensed (allow myself to introduce ummm... myself.)

If the quality of blogging in posterous was in tumblr, Yahoo would have already bought tumblr and suffocated it by repeatedly sending -- that phone call from 1997 asking for it's "portal" back -- to voicemail.

Yes, I believe in the minimal. I believe in clarity. But Posterous is so minimal, I have to force myself to remember to click that little 6px pt size link in the upper right corner. Posterous needs more of something. It's needed it for a while. In fact, I've got a hunger for it now. No, no. It's more than a hunger. It's a fever.

So, Posterous SHOULD take up all the beautiful "negative space," in the naked right column with miniaturized and faded-out includes of the people I subscribe to. Afterall, I've already seen all my own gramatical and topographical spelling errors (Googlewave, can you tell I need you!?!?!)!
