You knocked this out of the park mate. You're so right about the sustained buzz. After a while even the other companies started coming over to see what the fuss was all about this Steem thing :)

I think the difference was Promo-Steem was the only one that people come to see each other and share their passion for the platform, rather than just to buy and sell something. Which is a microcosm of the difference between Steem and the other cryptos.
