Busy.org is a alternate platform for steemit users. There are many reasons for whch i am using it and why is it more informative than steemit.com.
Firstly what is it??
Busy is an Open-Source social network and communication platform that extends itself to a variety of rich features and functionality including free digital payments and a marketplace for goods and services.
Using the power of the Steem blockchain, Busy is an Open-Source social network and communication platform that extends itself to a variety of rich features and functionality including free digital payments and a marketplace for goods and services. On top of that, Busy is also a Non-profit organization offering open-source projects on Steem, which aims to bridge the gap between the old economy and a new economy giving value back to people.
There is plenty of places to use it when Steemit.com is down or acting funky.
Its features/differences.
- You have them all the time handy when you want to browse, no need to visit main page all the time.
- people using busy.org can PM each others just within the portal.
- Bookmarks is main thing im missing in Steem, when i find interesting post that i need for later i have to use 3rd party service to store it. Not anymore thanks to Busy!
- More info than on main site, esp about the voting power and also looks nicer imo.
Conclusion
Both platforms use the same blockchain technology and both are in Beta. When you write in Steemit, your post automatically is published in Busy and vice versa. The two platforms are just different interfaces for the Steem blockchain. Busy is very new, so don’t get frustrated. It needs you to help create it.
