RE: Steemit - Social Media of the Future and the Limitless Growth Potential of SBD and STEEM
I am surprised that other popular blogs haven't already plugged into STEEM. I'm especially surprised that sites like FEE or Lean Liberty haven't integrated a long time ago.
The pitch would appear to be pretty simple. "Your writers get an extra source of income, and your users do to. At no costs to your company"
Can anyone explain to me why already popular sites haven't integrated yet? Lack of tools?
I would wager that the reason other blogs do not try and leverage Steemit is that they are worried of losing their userbase to the Steemit platform. Authors on another website can very easily set up shop on Steemit under their own tag and bring their entire following, even more so because the readers can be rewarded too (as you mentioned).
Trying to integrate Steemit with an existing platform would be very risky for the latter, as Steemit could dwindle their audience to zero.
I'm not sure on that one. A lot of blogs already allow Facebook integration in the comment section. People still come to their site and share the content. A bigger portion of readers can actually interact with the website (assuming everyone already has facebook account) without needing to sign up to each little wordpress blog they stumble upon.
If what you say were the case: Authors on another website can very easily set up shop on Facebook under their own fan page and bring their entire following.
No?
I think we are still missing something. Or at least I am!
You're right - when you look at it in the context of a well established site like Facebook my logic falls over.
Indeed we are still missing something! =)
At least we know that we don't know!
Anyone else reading this that has this figured out? (:
