RE: Steemit - Social Media of the Future and the Limitless Growth Potential of SBD and STEEM
@dutch I totally agree, but there needs to be some strong development on the GUI and query/filtering capabilities. Steemit can provide anything, but it should be easy to customize to provide only what people want.
For example, posts about making thousands a week on Steemit may not interest Joe, but Joe may love cars. It would be great to give Joe the ability to consume, just as it is easy to create.
I'm not sure why Steemit has not cloned Reddit yet; the lack of development in the past six months is really concerning. Steemit is great but it is a hot mess to use if you are looking for specific content. I really have no idea what the devs are doing.
Give people a Facebook page for their profile, give them a Wordpress-like blog, and then organize the whole thing with a Reddit like categorization. Seems very straightforward?
Agreed. I am sure they are navigating a minefield of social media patents, so there is that, but there is little evidence of improvements here and there (as in an agile environment).
Steem can be the basis for many different concepts around content publishing/consumption, but it just feels as if Steemit is being "doubled down" on.
I'm surprised no ones built a sort of shell by which steemit can use other websites like youtube. You find plenty of Youtube clones that just link back to Youtube for the content, if Steemit did that sort of thing it could be put over everything and the skies the limit.
I like how you're thinking;
Seeing a feature like that would be fantastic. To clarify, do you mean a feed where you can follow several tags, as opposed to only being able to filter by a single tag at a time?
Yes, but different from the hot/new/trending options that presently available. Having it customizable based on tags/keywords would allow for more flexibility, and not require following individual accounts if it is not wanted.
IMO Steemit should be able to place itself over other websites like reddit and youtube so that people can use their services but kind of piggy back on it.
