Twitter buys Posterous

"Today we are welcoming a very talented group from Posterous to Twitter. This team has built an innovative product that makes sharing across the web and mobile devices simpl-a goal we share," says Twitter. "Posterous engineers, product managers and others will join our teams working on several key initiatives that will make Twitter even better."

"Posterous Spaces will remain up and running without disruption," says twitter. "We'll give users ample notice if we make any changes to the service. For users who would like to back up their content or move to another service, we'll share clear instructions for doing so in the coming weeks."

Posterous also  says: "You can use your Space(s) exactly as you have in the past. We'll give you ample notice before any changes or disruptions to the service and we'll provide specific instructions for exporting your content to another service."

That sounds like Posterous users should get ready for the service to be shut down in a similar way to what we saw when Facebook bought Gowalla.

What do you think Twitter will do with the new business?
