RE: Growth Needs Retention - The "Theme Park Idea"
So funny; Even on Steemit there is gossiping like in a little village :) Glad you are not on a Steemit break; You wrote a great proposal! Fully agree with you Retention is the key requirement for growth, and your suggestions are spot on. I would extend it with better search capabilties, personalisable home channel (preferable multiple channels to support different interests) and the re-introduction of the active feed (I didn't know it ever existed).
Thank you! Great that you summarized it already in actions! Well then you should write the follow-up and tag it with #growth-project ;) Regarding the rumors, to be honest I was the one who spread the idea of a break (which lasted more or less one week ;-)). It's a good sign. It seems that it has something I can't resist...
Ok ok, so the source of the gossip is known, hahahaha. But cool indeed that Steemit is that attractive for you (and probably some others) to still continue with :)
growth-idea: all marketing at this stage, I think.
I have some ideas, but that is a couple of steps (understatement; likely many steps) ahead of the Steemit technology is at this stage.
One idea involves SUPER SUPER simple user interfaces + mobile App and push this into a second hand circular economy segment (to start with in The Netherlands), but requires very simple purchase of Steem, or a somewhat different methods to earn Steem and a dedicated area in Steemit for the goods trading + a support desk. When not integrarted with Steemit itself, than it will be independent from Steemit and therefore can also be independent from Steem what would be a shame since it'll then compete.
Another idea is to bring a whole segment now big on Facebook gradually to Steemit, starting with the innovators, but also here, lot needs to happen from technical side on Steemit before I can even reach out to my large network in that segment.
That sounds all very promising to me! As long as you build your applications on the steem blockchain you wouldn't compete but complement the offer. Plus: there is nothing wrong with competition :) Just remember the words from Dan Larimer who said that he built this baby to give it away.
Anyways... the whole thing will keep our generation busy for a while :)
For Sure! :)
