Posterous Releases Desktop TwitPic Downloader

We've just released a new desktop tool that downloads your photos from TwitPic so you can archive them on your hard drive or add to your Posterous site.   Just install Posterous I|O for TwitPic, follow a few simple steps and you'll regain control of your photos in no time at all.

Posterous provides a very cozy home for your photos - you can control the look and feel of your site, add static pages with links to your other sites and manage all your comments in one place.  Plus, you can use Posterous in exactly the same way you use TwitPic - from the web or from your favorite Twitter client.  And don't worry - our new tool will leave your photos on TwitPic intact.  Give Posterous I|O for TwitPic a try and let us know what you think.

Stay tuned to the Posterous Tech Blog for news on our open source version of Posterous I|O to support uploads to flickr or other destination sites.

Your sites just got a whole lot faster

We all hate having to wait for anything. Waiting in line at the café for that first coffee of the day can feel like a lifetime. Websites are no exception to this pain. If you are like us, you spend a lot of time on the 'net and your time is incredibly valuable. Because of this, we're proud to announce that all blog pages should see page load times decrease by over 50%!

We have accomplished this tremendous improvement by employing what is called a "reverse proxy" called Varnish. For those less technically inclined, a reverse proxy is a piece of software that maintains cached copies of web pages so that the load on our servers is reduced. Displaying these cached copies is orders of magnitude faster than hitting our servers. 

Thanks to Varnish, you should be seeing noticeably faster load times on your blog pages. 

Note: Varnish is currently not enabled for those of you on custom domains. We are planning to add this in the near future.

Thousands are posting by email every day.
