RE: STEEM STORIES is Now A Medium Publication: Suggest A Story To Be Included

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

I have been active on Steemit for 11 months, but I used to be just as active on Medium. Their posting UI is still the best I've seen. It is very intuitive with formatting tools that can be accessed as you type.

As far as whether this will be an effective endeavor, you have to think about a few scenarios.

The downside is that content is ported over to medium and doesn't get much traction.

The upside is that people who love Medium as much as Steemians love steemit get to see a way to monitize their efforts. And the good Medium writers are some of the best writers that bring up the writing quality of their community. Even getting one or two of thise writers and getting them to write about Steemit on Medium can have huge long term impacts.

Sort:  

I don't believe content in its raw form should be copy/pasted to medium. I believe a new version of an article could be written over there (almost like a summary or review) and if the reader is entice to want to see the full story, they should have to click a link to see the full version on steemit.

We don't want duplicate content across both platforms. Which ever one GoogleBot finds first, it will count it as the original most of the time and the second one isn't ranked and could receive a penalty in the search results.

It's just better two have 2 different versions of similar content with the medium version trying to get users to click a link to read more on steemit.

I agree with you. I thought @stellabelle was thinking of posting new content.

Thank you. That actually gives me a good idea... I will be signing up then!
