I think Steemit is both a social media platform and also a blogging platform, plus I think it is also a showcase platform for quality artists of all kinds. In addition, as I described in my bot post, it is also a bot gaming system too. You could also focus on using it as a steem/sbd "pair" trading system and a curation system as well.
You make very good points and I think the "what are we" question is something that will only be raised more as time progresses. The beauty of the platform is that it can be many things, but the key to it fulfilling its potential will be up to the people that we choose to run it (the witnesses). That's why I am happy that we are starting to have those questions asked, because the more they are discussed the more engaged people become.
While you are correct Dave, I do feel that, besides the witnesses, the user will decide what Steem will be.
Like I did write in my comment to beeyou, people do look for people on facebook, while people do look for information on steemit, but do find people :)
I agree with you on that point too... Over time I do believe the users will decide, I just hope we don't churn through too many of them before we grow some roots! ;)
Time is indeed not always at out side. We must hope for the best and in the mean time trying to educate new users, get them interactive and keep them from using bots too much!
It is interesting reading other people’s perspective on the platform. Branding is important in marketing the product and I wonder what people would think if we say, Steemit: Where Bots Come Out to Play!
absolutely a great idea... You are right about having a tagline... That would make a great post... Showing off the new logo and tagline :P :)
I see you are catching up! Great job, but you need to sleep too ;)
Heading into my dreams now. Hope you have a good night and not hearing any siren songs. The magical world of dreams should be calling you too. See, it is Steemit.
haha... yes my magical world of dreams is calling too! Finally caught up though! :P Good night!
