Busy is a much nicer interface in my opinion. It has a few more features like alerts and pricing of tokens mentioned in an article. There are also recommendations.

As for steemit, the development team is putting out weekly updates for the last few months. Outside of that, I think you are looking at something like a centralized organization would do.

And I would say the monster cardie thing is a lot more than cute considering then drew in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue in about 6 months. It is one of the leading blockchain applications out there.
