What is the Steemitboard & how does it benefit new users?

My guess it that you have probably had a few interactions with the @Steemitboard while posting or commenting. Also like myself, when it first popped up, you probably wondered what it was.

I've started to accumulate a few badges from this account/website now and getting pinged by the account often enough in the first couple of days on Steemit has made me want to learn more about what they're all about.

While I don't think there are any specific benefits to these badges, I am into metrics and it is a nice tool for tracking the number of inbound and outbound engagements related to my account. Currently it doesn’t seem as if Steemitboard is offering or will make available any sort of incentives for users. But as I mentioned before, its just a basic and FREE tool to track engagement.

It may help to incorporate some charts illustrating changes over time. Understanding the relationship in the first days on the network between reputation and engagement is vital and I’m not sure that there is enough strong indicators when joining the platform regarding that specific point. Also, visualizing over time the number of posts, comments and average number of Upvotes per post makes tracking gains or missteps easily interpretable.

I really want to grow my understanding of social media. You can read some other thoughts I have about How to Use Steemit & Gain Followers.
