It really has.

In the video I mentioned sneak referred to notifications as being something we should have had right in the beginning. I think some of the basic stuff they are likely to include. Thing is if they don't then it will not appeal to the masses.

In fact I was just talking with a girl on facebook about 10 minutes ago. I told her i was on steemit and described it, leaving a link...

Her first reply was "Interesting, it looks complicated. I like my easy ones like fb and insta"

If we want more exposure and more people joining it can't "look complicated" to the average person. Especially not on first glance.

I can remember when FB first came out. I had many comments about it but none were ever that it looked complicated cause it never was. It was very easy to use from the gate.
