Posterous Launches Groups
Posterous has launched Groups service for communicating privately with your friends, family and colleagues.
“Sharing privately with groups is broken right now – the default option remains the same as it was 10 years ago: Multi-attachment, inbox-cluttering emails. Other groups services have cropped up, but they are too complicated to set-up, handle rich media poorly and fall way short in the privacy department. “ –source

Facebook Adds Improvement (Tagging) to Photos
When we originally got started on Photos, we only had two people working on it. We didn’t build out a lot of features; we just focused on making sure photos were easy to share and this made Photos a great social experience.
Starting today, we will be rolling out support for print-quality, high-resolution photos. And unlike on many other online services, you don’t need any kind of premium or paid account.
We’re increasing the size of the photos stored from 720 pixels to 2048 pixels on the largest edge, for an 8 times increase overall.[source]
