Posterous Spaces will remain up and running without disruption. We’ll give users ample notice if we make any changes to the service. For users who would like to back up their content or move to another service, we’ll share clear instructions for doing so in the coming weeks. Posterous Blog
I wonder if that link will be working next year? Here’s the announcement on Twitter’s Blog. I switched over to Github Pages over the last week or two, mostly out of frustration with Posterous’ overly-social features. Looks like I was just in time. I wrote my own exporter here which I never got around to adding video support to. I think the official Posterous jekyll exporter may have improved since I wrote my initial few versions.
Also, Posterous Spaces? Wasn’t there another social site about people’s spaces? That one didn’t do too well, either. Best of luck to the Posterous team, and sad to see a pretty good product get shut down like that.
