There are so many tools to explore steemit like steemwhales.com. I was going through them all on http://steemtools.com/ last night.

I found another whale-related one that might be useful if anyone is looking for some more whale upvotes.

http://catchawhale.com/

And of course, Whaleshares might be helpful too.

I agree that upvoting and giving money to others really does feel good.

I feel like I'm always in the "Christmas spirit" on steemit! ha. Even if it's just a few pennies at a time for me right now.
