@buildawhale might be the best idea behind a voting bot, and here is why.

Hello Steemit family!

As many of you must already know, there is a new project in town: @buildawhale

A voting bot that not only upvotes your content but also gives you the opportunity to get exposure with its Build-A-Whale Daily.
This means that from all the posts that were upvoted by buildawhale, a team of curators will select the ones with the best content to be promoted on the daily compilation.
This is the best part about this project, the one that makes it different from the common popular bots. Why? Because using @buildawhale you have more room to grow. The chance to qualify for the daily posts is great. It encourages authors to create high quality content, which is good for the platform. And it also helps the minnows to get the much needed exposure when you are new here and its tough to get noticed.

I heard about all this through @chiefmappster, someone I appreciate and respect. Knowing that he is part of the team behind @buildawhale makes it easier for me to trust in the project ( @chiefmappster and @themarkymark )

That human aspect behind the curation is gold. The daily posts will also give place for users to interact with each other, which is always great.

Another cool thing about @buildawhale is that it creates opportunities for other users. Someone will have to do the curating work, and that is great, it adds for the growth of the platform in many ways.
Being a curator for @buildawhale is something that I would love to do, and by saying this I´m publicly expressing my willingness and time availability to assume the effort and responsibility it demands. I am not working at the moment, which gives me plenty of free time to commit to Steemit.(as I have been doing for the last two months).

So... to sum up I would like to once again recommend everyone to take a look at @buildawhale , this is just the beginning and it might only get better from now on.

Peace,
