I'VE been thinking about this for a while now and I am pretty sure that you have as well.
Steemit has become one of the coolest blockchain based 'social media' platforms I have seen in a long time and despite my feelings about other platforms, I feel that Steemit might be able to learn a thing or two from the giants themselves.
I know, I know. How dare I type those dreaded words - Facebook does not pay you, Facebook is filled with silly selfies just like Instagram and is just as much a waste of space as Twitter.
And yet, here we are - the top three things Steemit can learn from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
First of all, this might come as a bit of an obvious suggestion however, social media is how we as bloggers love to interact and get valued feedback on our articles and blogs - let's say that you would love to show someone the piece you did to get their feedback on the topic: #Tagging them using their username.
This is something that has cemented Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - would it not be fantastic if Steemit could introduce a similar concept or perhaps even create their own.
As a second suggestion and to help keep your 0.001 SBD and Steem in tact, Steemit should consider introducing a #messaging platform so that it's users may communicate privately - I would suggest that this be done in a way so as to give users control over who they can communicate with so as to avoid all those nasty little 'I'm a re-steem service which asks for 0.700SBD to upvote your post with my 12k followers and my personal following of 120,000' messages.
And coming in at third, and my final suggestion, is literally that: #Suggestions!
Don't you love being introduced to fellow like-minded bloggers who post similar content to you?
I personally would love to be able to click on a new tab at the top of my blog which would take me to 'Suggested Bloggers To Follow' and in so doing, not just open us up as Steemians to other like-minded Steemians but also, helping the lower-ranked Steemians gain more exposure.
Tumblr - again, I know, 'how dare you mention a platform which consists of 99% porn.
But Tumblr has done something right in that it notifies of you great posts.
So, that's a wrap from me and I hope you don't criticize me for my personal views, on which I am sure a lot of Steemians will agree with me.
Let me know if you have any suggestions in terms of improvements - or if you would like me to check out your blog, simply let me know by commenting. Thanks for reading.
