I WAS ON VACATION AND THIS IS WHAT I CAME BACK TO! THIS IS FABULOUS!

It is a great beta approach to sharing and curating from the ground up.

Features like this, as well as others (such as the new "home page" feature that automatically feeds posts from favorite users), gives Steemers like me a renewed sense of confidence in the platform.

When the wealthy owner of a platform (aka: @dantheman) pays a developer with his OWN money, to program a "sharing" feature that will inevitably drop HIS payout and take away from trending articles that HE could have gained from had he trended them, it gives users like me the DISTINCT impression that the owner is in this for the long haul, that this platform is not just a "churn and burn," and that it was built for sustainability, sociability, and quality.

Hats off @dantheman.

Users are now able to take inventory and help good content trend better than we could before. People like @steve-walschot and @roelandp now have more influence. This is EXACTLY what this platform needs.

Yes, spamming is inevitable. Just as it is with ANY other medium. We can unfollow that user for awhile, and/or we can let them know why. As they see their followers go down, they will catch on. I really think it will even itself out.

Super stoked. (do people still say that?)
