Posterous launches Super-fast Post Commenting

Don't wait anymore to load another page -- just load the comments in place and get into the conversation immediately. Try it today. Just click on a "Comment" button anywhere on any post, and let us know what you think.

AJAX for the win! It's simple and fun.

Great Idea, I like not having to leave the page to comment.
Keep up the great work.

While we are talking of improvements I have 3 suggestions.

-Tags
-Themes
-Spell-Check

Garry Tan said...
Tags and themes are next! Spellcheck is a good idea too -- but Firefox has good spellcheck plugins too. =)

Thanks Armand!

Mac OS X has system wide spell check in every single text block. Damn I love Macs.

Other improvement ideas:
- A map so that I can see where my blog visitors are from.
- A place to suggest improvements!

Thanks for all the awesome work Garry and Sachin.

Thanks for the suggestions and the support, guys. Stronger analytics and widget embedding are definitely on the list of things to do. For suggestions, feel free to email us anytime at help@posterous.com -- it will always be read and we'll always get back to you asap.

Posterous needs a search mechanism, and also spell check! Is anyone working on this?
Mar 26, 2009
Sachin Agarwal said...
@Judith We already have search. A search box appears on the explore page: http://posterous.com/explore and on each individual site

We don't have our own spell check, but one of the benefits of posting by email is you have the spell check that's built in to whatever email application you use. Also, if you are on a Mac, OS X does a system wide spell check on any text field
