I am happy you liked the description, everything of it is just the truth ;-) Regarding the award program: suggestions are always welcome, the network is huge. So if you want to recommend a potential newcomer, just let me know! I hope I have enough steem to award all of them!!! :-)

You are completey right: there MUST be an alert function to inform users when they have been tagged somewhere. It would even encourage communication / traffic - in the end: create value.
Let´s copy the bosses here ( @dantheman and @ned ), maybe it can be considered in one of the next updates.. :-)
