I Tried Musing
I heard @glenalbrethsen talk about @musing in his update for last month. I didn't know what it was, so I looked into it.
Musing.io is a site where people can ask questions and other answer. Simple.
It's interesting to have another way of interacting with the Steem blockchain that is more centered around the questions and less around an individual person's blog or feed. I think it makes things more interactive and opens up more possibilities for interacting with new people. I also like that you can get real answers for your questions as people look for questions to answer. When they're only written on a specific person's blog, questions can be difficult to find.
I will have to get used to the formatting over there. They don't appear to use Markdown, so when I used the double-asterisk to bold something, it just showed as a word enclosed with double-asterisks, but that's ok. Maybe they'll update it as some point to have a preview of what a response will look like... sort of like Busy.org or Steemit.com when you're writing a post/comment.
I have only tried it today, so I still have more to learn about it, but I'll keep you posted. If you haven't checked it out already, consider giving it a shot.
What was your question about? I'm gonna go answer it.

I actually tried answering a few questions. :)
Oh cool, I misunderstood. I posted a question about home protection over the weekend. It had a few answers. Kinda cool, I wasn't sure if it would post to my feed, is I asked a question. It didn't.

hey, @wonderwop.
Yeah, so I think musing decided they wanted the SEO instead of giving it to Steemit, so they moved the answers along with the questions to their site only. You can post an answer to your blog if you choose, but the question doesn't appear anywhere else.
Thank you. That's good to know.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
The service is wonderful for new users as the curators actually read and upvote the posts.
I think that's a pretty fair and accurate description you've got here of Musing. There are some limitations and such there, just as people seem to find spam and don't like the length or content of people's answers. I try not to pay attention too much to what others are doing, other than to curate. So, cool. Glad you checked it out. I need to get back to it, maybe Wednesday, after we get get back from our second trip to Idaho, to finish up moving my son and his family. :)
