Posterous vs Tumblr - Posterous is better, here is why:

Still having trouble seeing what Posterous can give me that Tumblr can't, maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

One thing is that Posterous indexes a lot better in Google. Another is the easyness to blogging via mail. I know Tumbr has that feature too, but it is by far not so good as Posterous. For example: if you post an image to Tumblr you get it as an photo post with a title. With Posterous you can make a whole blog post with title, photo (even many photos as a photo collage!) and body with text, links and all.

And if you posting a video to Posterous they automatically converts it and publish it with their own built in video player that is compatible with iPhone too!

Another thing: Posterous can re post all your stuff instantly to other services like Twitter, Flickr, Youtube and many, many more. Try to do that with Tumblr...

One more: the community on Posterous is a LOT better. They "Favorite" and commenting much more than and what they do on Tumblr.

One more: the comment system. It's a really great built in comment system on Posterous where the comments builds up the content and can be posted to Twitter as @replies. On Tumblr you have DISQUS that you must install yourself and the comments are on their servers so you don't get any Google Juice frOm the comments..
