Yesterday Twitter revealed it bought Posterous, a
lifeblogging/microblogging/sharing site. It's been widely regarded as
a "hacquisition" because Posterous' metier isn't totally compatible
with Twitter's own business model--at least as it stands, with its
hugely time-sensitive and text-centric user experience. So who are
these folks, and why did Twitter spend an undisclosed amount
(certainly many millions, given Posterous' successes and big-number VC
rounds) to buy them? http://www.fastcompany.com/1824394/why-twitter-bought-posterous-talent-and-apple
