How come Posterous is eating dust from a small startup started by a high school dropout?

The answer is as easy as it is counter-intuitive: Tumblr is a New York company and Posterous is a Silicon Valley company.

Or, to put it another way: Posterous is an engineered product, while Tumblr is a designed product.

But wait! How come Tumblr works in NYC if there aren’t any multidiscliplinary wonders here?
