RE: Why I Might Switch Completely To Busy.org + Steem Referral Links?
It's kind of ironic that an alternative Steem interface looks more mature than Steem's flagship website. I don't know how big busy's team is, but the progress that they have made during the last several months is astonishing. I have been using it more and more in the last 10 days, and I urge each and every one of you to give it a try ;)
@cryptoctopus, the things I like most are the possibility to see who has followed and mentioned me, as well as the in-built dtube player. Cheers!
I'm actually not excited about the see-who-followed-me feature. I'm afraid it will be like Instagram where person 1 follows person 2 in the hope that person 2 will follow person 1 back. When person 2 doesn't follow person 2 back, person 1 will unfollow person 2. It used to be the same on YouTube when everyone who subscribed to you would show up in your notifications, but after YouTube removed the visibility of this (although you can still be notified on mail), the amount of cases where people subscribe and then unsubscribe right after has been dratically reduced.
Okay, I just gave it a try and now I really like the feature. While I still agree with my own logic, It's fun to be reminded of my growing follower base.
I'm stoked on the in-built dtube player, though;)
Im a social media marketer and I agree that follow-follow will do what we experienced on istagram.
The only (and huge) difference is that on steemit amount of followers with low SP means nothing. If I can build relationship with 100 people having at least some decent SP then I would choose it instead of trying to have 1000 newbie followers.
But still many people here dont seem to realize it and they are all after "big follower" number.
I started this week to use the Busy.org platform and to my knowledge it is much easier and more intuitive when it comes to publishing.
I agree with you @cryptoctopus on the potential you have in relation to Steemit. I am still delighted with the possibility of being able to get my purse or answers with just a click on the home screen.
Ofcourse they should be better than original, but without original there won't be busy.org
I don't see Steemit.com as the original one. It was the first and for a time the only one. But Steemit was just the way Steemit Inc give to users in order to access the Steem blockchain. Busy or Zappl or both of them is the way to go.
I hope there wont be something liek a civil war between them. I mostly use busy. Steemit only for transactions and market.
Im sure Steemit will mature as well.
Were I @ned Scott, I would want this in a way. A crypto-currency which has so much dependence on one website as Steem was back in 2016 is a rather fragile state of affairs. Sure you could run your own node but still, a state actor could cripple the ability of most users to move coins. Over in Bitcoin we have many light weight wallets. As for mining requiring a single website was an awful situation and I am glad we have different sites. I hope they don't all run in the U.S.A.!
Steem Connect is a single point of failure for many websites and the alternative is typing your private keys into websites everywhere. As an old-timer in the space this makes my stomach turn!
