The day has arrived! Today is Invest in Steem Social Media Blast Day!

The goal of today's event is to coordinate a massive social media "blast", where everbody starts talking about how amazing Steem is - all at once. We want to generate as much "buzz" about Steem across the internet that investors can't ignore it.

• Everybody can participate.
• Everybody should participate :)
• That includes you ;)
• Instructions are below.

Our (ambitious) goal is that as a result of this social media blast day, we push into the top 20.

There will be people participating in discussions on Disqus and answering questions about Steem. There will be paid advertisement campaigns being run (thanks to sponsorships from @curie, @yabapmatt, and @utopian-io). There will be influencers with lots of followers tweeting about Steem to their audiences. There will be tons of people talking about Steem everywhere they can. It is going to be a blast!
