Our favorite highlights:

...it's even easier to use than Tumblr, which has a cult-following of users who like to post lots of pictures and short messages.

Michael Arrington also issued a challenge to give a Techcrunch t-shirt to the first person to spoof his blog at http://techcrunch.posterous.com. Several thousand spoof emails later, we had a lucky winner who exploited a small hole in the way we handle confirmed email addresses that you haven't emailed from yet. (The winner Dave Donohue spoofed mail from Arrington's gmail account, which he hadn't posted from yet. Congrats, Dave.) This hole has been fixed, and rest assured your security is a the top of our concerns.

To the thousand or so new users we have picked up in the past few hours, thanks for trying Posterous. Expect good things to come over the next few months, and we hope you'll stay awhile!

PS, Dave is planning to live blog from the Modest Mouse concert tomorrow!
