You're right, the way Steemit works is not designed so much for learning as it is for creating opportunities and connections, but that in itself is the catalyst or spark for learning as well. My experience with various forms of engagement associated with the Steemit blockchain indicates to me that there's no one 'correct' way to do this, but we need to promote ourselves and other people in a way that shows what we do and believe in. In a sense this is like creating a brand or identity, but one in which shows how we can connect one person to another in a meaningful way.

I am still pondering and trying to evolve this idea until it becomes something more tangible, much in the same way that surpassinggoogle conceived many of his ideas on this platform. However, we can all do a little bit more with connecting and getting to know more people on this platform because I feel like there are many 'closed circles' here that limit ourselves to further learning.

Just out of interest, I am wondering if you are connected to people on @steemstem and some of the software development projects on utopian.io (and outside of it). I know that there are plenty of people that talk about photography, and a growing number posting about healing and mysticism. Perhaps there are some connections and opportunities there if we put some of our knowledge and skills together :)

Also, my friend is starting to write about his research into the photography users on steemit (I was going through a draft before) so it would be great to get your thoughts and feedback once they are published (I will let you know).
