RE: What I Shared Today on Social Media and Some Thoughts About Protecting the Rewards Pool
Psttt... I think Luke is an advocate, not an ambassador.
Unless Steem Inc. delegates SP to him he advocates. The 5 who had received SP from Ned were ambassadors (all were very active in their own specific locality and that delegated SP was actually a marketing strategy by Ned).
Luke advocates for Steem. Pro bono almost. Which is exactly where the difference is.
Super great points otherwise. I just wanted to differentiate before the selfmade social media gurus come and we forget to differentiate who are the long term advocates and who are the (often shorter term) ambassadors. I doubt many ambassadors will bother with running their own witness server. ;)
Hehe, thanks for the correction :) I didn't realise those with delegated SP from Ned were officially classified as the ambassadors. See, learning something new each day. Perhaps I'll just leave the comment as is, to prove that we are all human and learning as we go along. Thanks, much appreciated!
To be honest, I’m not sure that distinction has made it to Steem yet.
As somebody who has been heavily involved in/with Internet startups, and also had a stint as an Entrepreneur in Residence (for digital) at a Top 10 advertising agency, I can confirm the distinction matters to brands tho.
Ambassadors is marketing. Advocates is the word of mouth every brand/biz wants.
Ahh, ok, cool. Thank you very much for the info :)
Interesting distinction. I wasn't aware of that terminology (or if I was, I forgot). Thanks.
