Steemit Suggestion Regarding ReSteeming
I had a suggestion for Steemit regarding a way to improve the current way we resteem posts.
Here it is. So on Twitter we can retweet something or we can retweet something with a comment. By allowing retweet with comment we can add a bit of our own commentary such as whether we agree or disagree with the statement and why, why we felt it was worth retweeting, etc.
Now on Twitter we are limited to 140 characters so there's really not too much commentary you can add on your own on top of what someone else already posted but here there's more room to do so. I like resteeming things which I would like to give more attention or in the case of commentary on Steemit something I also would like to see or a problem I also experience. Basically it just allows you to add some of your own thoughts to a resteem and I think encourages more interaction and more of that community feel.
I think some people have found sort of a workaround to this by resteeming someone else's link along with some of their own commentary but I think it could be a worthwhile feature.
Curious to hear your thoughts?
That definitely sounds like a good idea. It's kind of like when someone gives a shoutout to someone in a video. They say why you should watch this person's channel or video. I would like to see that feature.
I was thinking the same thing
That is a great idea! Resteemit for others to chime in!
This seems like a great idea! I would imagine it being implemented as a talk bubble being implemented next to where it says "Resteemed by NAME" that allows you to view the comment made by the resteemer. I would also think that this should also add the comment to the post, where readers of the post could see what other's are saying about the post.
This is a great idea that I support because I would like to see the comments with the resteem also!
My thoughts, exactly! I too was missing the feature that is available in twitter when retweeting, or in facebook when sharing. A small message is really very helpful for our followers to figure out what they can expect in our resteems.
I hope steemit developers are already aware of it and perhaps working towards it. But still, it's a good post to attract their attention on this important feature. Well done!
