FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
Twitter is growing up by doing grown-up company things like acquiring its direct competitors as it has done by buying the microblogging platform Posterous. If you’ve never heard of Posterous, don’t feel bad. The small San Francisco-based startup launched in 2008 as an easy way for people to start blogging and share photos and communicate with friends. If that sounds like a familiar concept, it’s very similar to both Twitter itself, as well as a lot of other services (Tumblr, Pinterest, Path, to name a few.)

Also unknown is how much the Posterous investors will get from the deal. No terms were disclosed. But a quick glance at the Quantcast traffic chart show that Posterous has not taken off the same way Twitter and Tumblr has — and even recent social media darling Pinterest has shown some signs of catching up, at least in Quantcast’s estimates. (The numbers for Tumblr and Twitter are both indirectly measured estimates.)

However, the company continues to charge down the path of expansion that they started traverse around the time of the TweetDeck buy. Now, if they could figure out a way to make money…
