Filed under: Photo, Web servicesPosterous and TwitPic have been in an ongoing battle over Posterous' efforts to release an app that lets you pull your TwitPic photos into your Posterous blog. After the first attempt, TwitPic blocked Posterous entirely, and threatened to sue, so Posterous took down the app. Now it's back, though, as an Adobe-Air-based export tool that TwitPic can't block (yet).
The new tool lets you sign in via your Twitter account, which ought to get around TwitPic's current method of blocking Posterous by IP address. There's no telling when or if TwitPic will come up with a new method of stopping Posterous, or whether it's even worth their time at this point. The new export tool can theoretically export your photos to Flickr, Facebook and other locations on the web, but it's only set up to work with Posterous by default.
