From these choices. ... Our posts can be seen as points of reference like fence posts on a fence. The posts define which way the fence is aligned, our posts define waypoints in our strings of thoughts. They can also be thought of as notes on a bulletin board giving a heads up piece of information that we should all know. A post can point to very few stories, usually a post points to only one story.
Stories have more meat to them. They are something we want to say and they contain corroborating information. A story can refer to many postings or stories as documentation for the main point of the story, but it is the story that is important, not the referenced postings. A story also has a longer life span and may be referenced many different times by different posts.
