And I think it was genius. The guy might not be a great quarterback, but he is an unstoppable athlete. The Eagles have a quarterback - they obviously have something else in mind. What do you do as a defense when Vick lines up next to McNabb? Both guys are nearly impossible to put on the ground and have the potential to throw a ball down field.
There has been a lot of debate pinning Posterous against Tumblr. For a little frame of reference, I'm posting this on Posterous...but it will then be auto-posted to my Tumblr feed. I don't believe I can get my Tumblr posts auto-transferred to Posterous. This post could also be auto-tweeted and pushed to basically any other platform out there. If I am not mistaken, Tumblr can auto-post to Twitter and Twitter alone.
I use Tumblr far more than I use Posterous because I like the simplicity and design abilities better. I can direct somebody to my Tumblr page and they immediately know it is me without digging into any of the content. I basically started my journey into social media on Tumblr, so my audience is slightly larger on Tumblr (emphasis on slightly).
While it is a nice thought to allow users to post anytime and anywhere via email, I feel like posting to Posterous is kind of clunky. If the main draw is posting via email, Tumblr also has that option and then when I go to the website, posting is simpler.
I don't subscribe to many Posterous feeds, but the few I do subscribe to confuse me a bit. My subscriptions are laid out very ambiguously and they are difficult to keep track of.
Many of the differences between Tumblr and Posterous come down to preference, and I just happen to prefer Tumblr. I will continue to use both services and see if I can fall in love with Posterous as many of already have.

Here is an extension of a post that origniated here on Posterous.
This question can take multiple forms - but "the extra mile" may not be enough anymore.
Why do I follow @mikebilleter, @kareemy, and @jasondouglas on Twitter (and think you should too)? Find out in this week's #followfriday recommendations.
I grew up in Omaha. I spent four years at school in Sioux Falls. The Internet and group functions have allowed me to socially network heavily with individuals in Minneapolis.
When I send a resume to an Omaha company, a return email systematically lets me know that the company is not currently looking for entry-level employees.
In Sioux Falls, members of a close-knit professional community (from CEOs to Account Executives) will sit down for lunch or coffee and discuss possibilities in the area and speak candidly about employment opportunities as they see fit. Personal introductions are often the chosen method for passing along names, information, and recommendations.
Is the difference simply due to size? I don't think so.
When I send a resume out in Minneapolis, the recipient indicates they have read the email and at least glanced at the attached document. If they are unable to help through employment, they offer to forward the information to colleagues and keep an ear open for possible opportunities. I've run into very few companies in Minneapolis that simply turn a cold shoulder without staying in contact and offering assistance.
How does information flow in your community? Like Omaha: the 'Black Hole' model? Like Sioux Falls: the 'Cheers' model? Or like Minneapolis: the 'Collaborative Potential' model? Maybe something completely different.
Is "United Breaks Guitars" a shining moment for social media, or a dark realization that publicity is king and could spell disaster?
