Just had a Horrible Thought. Could I move from Posterous to Google+?

#“Just had a Horrible Thought. Could I move from Posterous to Google+?”

I've always loved the easiness of Posterous but it still has enormous problems with comments and Social Logins and I'm getting really tired of it. The lack of an official Export feature (yes I know about the API) always worries me too.

My default would be to switch to good old self-hosted WordPress plus something like Amplify for sharing interesting pages as posts.

But I just had the scary thought that Google+ could be "good enough". The Data Liberation Front means I don't have to worry about lock-in and the sharing features are pretty darned good. But of course all my old posts wouldremainstuck on Posterous and I can't have a custom domain.

Ah ok, maybe I'll stick with the WP idea.
