Twitter has acquired blogging site Posterous for an undisclosed sum, hoping to upgrade its content sharing features. Posterous’ “team has built an innovative product that makes sharing across the Web and mobile devices simple -- a goal we share,” Twitter explained in a blog post. “Posterous engineers, product managers and others will join our teams working on several key initiatives that will make Twitter even better.”

News reports claim that Google will now abide by local laws, making content invisible to people of certain countries based on the request of authorities. After implementing the changes, any user who logs onto a domain on Blogger, for example, will be redirected to a country specific domain which will be approved by the user's local country laws. Twitter has also taken adopted the same censorship policy after facing opposition from some country's governments on 'unacceptable content'.
