This is the equivalent of me saying "RIM should buy Apple. They have this cool new iPhone. I really like it. They should buy it."
Maybe, but that's not really how it works.
MySpace is pivoting, from a social network to a music platform for Indie artists. That's where MySpace is going. It isn't (and hasn't) tried to compete with Facebook for years (and I thought the MySpace/Facebook comparisons diesd a while back).
Adding Posterous and/or any microblogging to Myspace's current platform adds no strategic advantage to MySpaces' current service as it stands.
That said, Posterous is pretty awesome. I just don't see how it would be a useful addition to Myspace in anyway.
