Last year Twitter acquired Posterous. They happily joined the team and after a year, they announced that Posterous will turn off the website, its service and mobile apps from April 30th to focus 100% on Twitter.
This means all your posts on Posterous will be gone. They are not only removing the platform for users but also all the Posterous spaces ( blog ) created by users would no longer be available to view. If you one of those who uses Posterous Spaces and still didn’t know about this news, don’t worry you still have time to save your posts or switch over to some other blogging platform. We will tell you how.
The simplest and the most convenient way to backup your Posterous data is request a backup which will collect all your posts in HTML, along with photos and videos you uploaded on Posterous and give you an exclusive way to download it and then switch to a different platform.
