Posterous just raised $4.4 million!

Simple blogging startup Posterous has raised $4.4 million in its first round of institutional funding from Redpoint Ventures, Trinity Ventures, and some other angels.

From Posterous's blog:

Thanks to all our investors for the support and backing. With this money, we're going to be expanding our team and building even faster!

Our goal is to become synonymous with “posting” just like Google is synonymous with “search”. Doesn’t matter if it’s for twitter or a blog, private or public, group or individual. If you need it online, you go to Posterous.

WordPress builds Posterous importer

At the end of the day, that's all about contents, instead of platforms. So you can choose which blogging platform works for you. Blogspot, WordPress, Tumblr, Posterous -- name it. Just blog, which is good for you. Trust me :-D

WordPress just announced that they have created a “Posterous Importer” for hosted customers. Similar to their other importer tools, this new one takes the content on a Posterous blog and imports it into a wordpress.com hosted blog. The Posterous importer can import posts, tags, comments, and image attachments.

Why I switched from WordPress to Posterous?

My answer will be much more like a practical issue rather than a technical issue. Posterous really makes my blogging activity easier: updating post, uploading pictures or even commenting can be done just via e-mail. That's a really magical platform, I must say.

For a blogger like me, having busy to upgrade here and there and experiencing security issues (like I had when using WordPress) is really wasting my time. All I need is writing and writing --no matter where, when and how. And now, I can do that easily, thanks to Posterous.
