Can someone tell me the difference between busy.org, Steemit, and DTube!? Totally recognize that it's a noobie thing to ask =]
Appreciate it in advance!!!
Steemit and Busy are relatively direct competitors as both are optimized more for blogging, while DTube is for posting videos. All of them use the Steem blockchain as core infrastructure, which means that no separate user accounts are necessary for the different sites. There are a variety of other sites running on Steem also. Since Steem is designed as an open and decentralized network, each website is just an additional interface, and anyone with the technical ability/resources can create a competing site.
When you use busy.org or steemit.com to create a post the post you create is still created on the Steem blockchain, and both websites read posts from the Steem blockchain. Think of busy vs steemit as like Firefox vs Chrome vs Internet Explorer. If you look something up on Wikipedia you should be reading the same article regardless of what browser you use to read it, and regardless of whether you read it on a laptop, Android, or iPhone.

So I posted this via busy.org but am writing this on Steemit; are they that direct of competitors if it is cross posted? What am I missing?
