"Posterous is Joining the Flock at Twitter," not sure how I feel about this.

Not really sure how I feel about the announcement that Posterous has been acquired by Twitter. Sure acquisitions happen all the time and sure nothing is likely to change in the next few months, however, Twitter has thus far had an impact on everything they've acquired and it's not always been positive from an accessibility perspective. Looking at the main Twitter page, we see how "concerned" they are about the accessibility of their products and services. For now, I guess there's nothing to do except wait and see what happens.
