Ok so lets try this again.. I have realised I have seriously F#$ked Up
My first introduceyourself post was a lazy repost of a previous blog post I'd done that was very money making oriented; after a few days checking out what is being said and the tone of the conversation on Steemit, I've realised that I've F#$ked up with that approach.
Ok so lets try this again..
Hi
Call me Steve
I am from the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
I am really interested how technology can make all our lives better. I think that the positive impact the advent of the internet has had far outweighs the negative. I think its awesome the power social media gives and the opportunity to make friends all around the globe. I am excitedly waiting to see how #Blockchain tech and the #InternetofThings disrupts many of the "new" economy paradigms which have only recently gone mainstream.
Outside of tech, I am a stay at home dad with 2 just about to be teen boys, I love nature and like to capture lots of pics with my iPhone, when my financial priorities change Id love to spend more time reacquainting myself with some great digital camera gear as I was a pioneer of Virtual tour photography in 1999 when iPix was just getting started.
I realise that all of us are stuck on this little blue spec (at least until Elon Musk gets us to mars n beyond) so lets try to make as little mess of the place in the mean time. I also love to travel ( helps my wife is a Travel Agent although that is an industry that's being majorly disrupted) and I've been lucky enough to visit almost 40 countries on all 7 continents.
So, anyway I hope to make some connections with wonderful like minded peeps here on Steemit and hope that my inept ramblings don't irritate too many folks.
wellcome
Welcome.
I read your first post and wanted to let you know cross posting your own external content is fine. Cheetah is here to stop plagiarism and imposters. You can visit Steemit chat and ask to be whitelisted under the channel steemitabuse. Just mention Cheetah. If he's around he'll find you.
You're one step ahead of everyone since you posted your twitter link with a tweet back to Steemit! It's appreciated. Cross posting links is encouraged since there is no "official" way of verifying users as of yet or keeping track of those verified.
Once again, welcome. Look forward to reading some of your posts. Unlike twitter there also isn't an easy way to keep up with those you follow yet. I recommend checking out steemstats.com. It has some nifty tools to keep up with users you follow, comments, and replies.
Cheetah is self-made police that has no authority to make any rules in here. This is free social media.
Privacy has value. There are many in here who don't want to sell their privacy.
It has the authority it's SP grants to it, there was more than a single dude empowering the idea of the cheetah bot so yes its a free social media (decentralized if i may mention) that's the precise reason people can make their own rules. if someone doesn't like the rules then they can simply disagree and make their own rules/police-bots.
Thanks for the welcome and tips
Upvote! Keep bringing us those awesome photos from your beautiful part of the world Steve
I am afraid "you only have one chance to make the first impression " , Steve )
Hope you will not be discouraged anyway.
I am a work in progress
Yeh Steve don't be put off. It takes a while to get the hang of something new! I just joined too. I'm also a fellow Aussie from Sydney!
thanks Mate, great to connect
No problem - it takes a bit of elbow grease to figure this out but full Steem ahead :)
