100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 22 - Friday Roundup & Friday Follows #3
We are now heading into the fourth week of the 100 Days of Steem project and the pace is beginning to quicken.
The big advance of the week has been the announcement of the first group of Community Curators.
We also put out a post to brainstorm on future developments for Communities.
And we hosted three more very popular Challenges.
We are working on a couple more exciting initiatives that we hope to launch this coming week.
Stay tuned and have fun!
Friday Roundup
Another week, another seven posts. We hope you are all enjoying the project - we definitely are.
Someone in a comment asked what comes after the 100 Days Project. Our smart answer… the 1000 Days Project!
We definitely have plans for the months and years ahead - but to hear about those you will have to stay with us for the next 78 days at least.
In the meantime let’s catch up with what has happened this week...
The Community Curators Project
We were delighted with the response to the Community Curators Project. Over 50 applications were received - many more than we had anticipated.
Because of the large number of applications we were happy that we have been able to double the amount of delegation for the project and increase the number of Community Curator accounts from the planned four to seven.
With so many great applications it was a difficult choice but these are the Community Curators selected for May...
- 500K SP - @roadofrich - [application]
- 500K SP - @wherein - [application]
- 200K SP - @canna-curate - [application]
- 200K SP - @greece-lover - [application]
- 200K SP - @project.hope - [application]
- 200K SP - @remlaps - [application]
- 200K SP - @stef1 - [application]
All the Community Curators need to confirm acceptance by midnight UTC on Monday, April 27.
We have so far heard from @roadofrich, @canna-curate, @project.hope, and @stef1. If anyone is in touch with the other three please do alert them to the need for confirmation.
The Weekly Challenges
There has been continued good participation in the Challenges - over 60 for the writing challenge and over 70 for the photography challenge.
We therefore added a third weekly challenge last Saturday - the Steem Diary Challenge...
There is still time to enter the current Writing Challenge - My Favorite Meal - that closes on Sunday...
And the current Photography Challenge - Fruit and Veg - that closes on Tuesday...
Friday Follows
We are definitely sensing a growing confidence in the community to come forward to make positive contributions to Steem.
People are stepping up to run events and contests, to build apps and tools, and to help tackle challenges the platform faces.
We offer our great thanks and support to everyone making these contributions. And we are also very grateful to the many, many Steemians who continue writing posts, making comments and voting on all the great content that is being produced day after day.
Under the banner of ‘Friday Follows’ we would like to highlight a few members of the platform that we have spotted doing that bit extra this past week...
@kiwiscanfly is stepping up to revive Steem Power Up Day / SPUD that is back again on 1 May with a whole range of great prizes…
@xpilar is running a great video competition - ‘The World of Animals’ - with 2000 STEEM in prizes...
If you enjoy sport check out @sportsncoffee’s long running daily Sports Trivia Contest…
New witness @steem-supporter have built a replacement for Steem.Chat…
@greenhouseradio are broadening out their weekly Steem Witness forum. They are now going to be running two - one on Sundays at 11am PST / 6pm UTC, and one on Mondays at 7pm PST / 2am UTC (Tuesday).
They are inviting all witnesses, community leaders and users to join in…
Steem on,
The Steemit Team

wow people are still using Steem? This is incredible there should be some kind of investigation into this phenomenon. Surely this kind of assemblage of people all suffering the same dissociative break from reality could be a very useful natural lab to test theories of mental illness. Wake up people, Steem is dead. Welcome back to the real world
Hello @carlgnash
Hehehe, I love that Steemit is back.
This week you can withdraw and buy my food, something I have not achieved for a long time. I am an older woman from Venezuela and I cannot leave home, you do not know how good it felt to be able to contribute something to my family to complete the food purchases. That is my real world. Thank you for your visit and comment.
@carlgnash there is no need to claim that anyone is suffering from a dissociative break from reality. Please take your petty accusations and go to Hive. We are free to make our decision. It is not irrational, and ad hominems are not going to change anyone's mind. You all seem to claim to be so morally superior. Why then must you resort to such childish tactics?
Wake up my friend, manners are not dead. Please be respectful, or leave.
What's rly incredible is that the amount of capital stored on Steem marketcap would just be doubled by just forking its blockchain. It's too easy to make money these days!
Thank you for your support, and for the translation.
The Steemit Team
There are ppl using Medium! paying to read articles that could be posted anywhere else, and posting on a portal that ppl have limited access to your content if they don't pay them to read it!
Translating into German - I hope I manage to do the current one later this day.
Thank you for the translation.
Hey @steemcurator01
Hindi translation is done for this post
100 दिन STEEM : दिन -22 - Friday Roundup & Friday Follows #3
From now afterward I will be posting my translation in different communities as I have less followers to get more users attention on my translation
That will be great, thank you.
Thank you for constant and ongoing communication from your team to steem community and all the support. Looking forward to the next good news from your team. Good day!
Thank you
Thanks for the Mention -- Finally you removed the link , But i guess you should also put the new one i.e http://steemchat.online (Both on Steem.com and the steemit hamburger )
hope to see that soon
thanks

Please pump like hive
What I like to know is what happened to all those communities who paid to start a hive here. It looks to me most are not active at all. How can one find out if they are still around.
It feels to me except for CCC - The Curation Circle Creed - most hives/communities are dead and left.
Is @project.hope active here at all?
Yes unfortunately many of the Communities are dormant. It is one of our priorities to revive the ecosystem of Communities here.
@project.hope is very active, and one of the first round of Community Curators who will be starting tomorrow.
