RE: Google Plus Is Shutting Down - Time For Steemit To Shine!
This is a very interesting development ... and the first I've heard of it. And, it fits in rather nicely with a project I'm working on.
Personally, I'm not interested in the "communities" idea. Some of the most interesting relationships I've developed on Steemit have been "outside of my areas of interest." You, for example. Plus, I have a way of developing an interest in just about everything.
My interest is in meeting smart people doing something brilliantly (including "thinking") ... I don't much care what that something is. It's the smartness and excellence I'm after. But, I'm well aware that not all people share my proclivities.
Good for you for spotting this and understanding its consequences. I hope somebody "up there" is listening. Cryptogee, make sure you mention this at SteemFest ... a lot.

I know what you mean about finding interests outside of communities, however I think it is still how a lot of people like to connect. Plus it's nice for a content creator to watch a community grow.
Can't wait to hear more about your project, and yes I will be mentioning the demise of G+ as much as I can at Steemfest.
