RE: Is EOS’s new Social Media Platform VOICE.com Facebook 2.0 Mark of the Beast?
I for one find it a bit complicated. The great thing about Steemit is that it was / is easy for a clueless tech-phobe like me to quickly understand most of the workings on this platform. And what I couldn't comprehend quickly just took a bit of time and effort, before I could get a handle on the more complex workings of the site.
So, rule number one remains ... K.I.S.S. (or, Keep it Simple, Stupid!)
A few months back, I had looked at the new platform NARRATIVE. I haven't done any posting there, simply because it's NOT SIMPLE. :-(
Dear @majes.tytyty
I never tried Narrative. Is it really that difficult?
I just realized that I never actually thanked you for your reply. I really appreciate that you're so very responsive.
I also wanted to make some suggestion.
My impression is, that the hardest part of attracting attention on STEEMIT is the fact, that our audience have very little chance to actually find our publications. Lack of solid notification system is an obvious issue. And regardless how hard I would try - there is very little chance I would find out about your new interesting publications (my feed is just flooded with to many posts).
Please allow me to share some suggestion with you. If you would ever publish content related to blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, psychology etc.
then perhaps you could simply send me memo with link to that post.This way not only I would have a chance to read your publication, but I will also
upvote it right away with 20k SP voting power. If I would consider it interesting then I may also share it with wider audience.Please let me know what do you think.
Cheers, Piotr
Hello, Piotr, and thanks for your message.
As for Narrative, I'm of 2 opinions. First, they seemed to have some great ideas about how to build a strong and comprehensive platform. But secondly, it seems they failed at developing any features that can make the individual posts attractive.
Whereas Steemit's "EDITOR" functions are minimal, Narratives editor functions are almost non-existent. And since, as you know, I like lotsa color in my posts (sometimes far too much color!!!!!!), I really do not wanna deal with Narrative. Maybe if they improve such features.
Re Steemit's lack of a notification function, you've hit on a great point. That's the one drawback that has always bothered me a bit. I'd love to notify people when I make a post, and I'd love to get notifications from quite a few Steemers re there posts.
Now, the only way to get notified is thru one's individual Steemit feed, but since there's a constant stream of posts from all those FOLLOWED, it's way to much.
Your idea of sending wallet messages is another way, but I for one to not always check my wallet, so I'm sure I've missed messages from you and a few others.
Of course, I'll notify you if I ever write any posts re crypto or such, but now, I'm focusing on my music series. ANd enjoying it!!
Also, I'm enjoying the relaxing life in CM. It's not too hot, and the pool's always cool.
I hope all is well with you. I assume your beautiful wife Keisha (spelling?) is with you now, so you must be happy.
Cheers!
Steemit is not simple either unless you start with an app and ignore the rest.
That is what I mainly do. I post and read and comment and upvote.

Yep, they forgot the KISS rule.
