steemit and competition
No I am not talking about facebook or reddit or twitter!!!!. Those services are established and used by millions and billions of people. Given the network effect, it takes a long time and huge effort to change that..
When social network started there were
The beginning years
BBS, AOL and CompuServe, BBS was very popular among tech guys and many have used AOL and CompuServe services and remember all kind of chats that we used
The Internet Boom: Social Networking’s Adolescence
Classmates.com---> many would remember them
Friendster, LinkedIn, Orkut,MySpace ,My yearbook and Facebook
They all had many million users in the beginning, but eventually facebook and linked in won.They were not the first
Pulling Ahead: How Facebook and Twitter won the Web
Facebook made a series of smart moves and innovative features that set the platform apart from the rest of the social media pack.
Facebook Platform
The open API
user feeds
News and then they had network effect and rest is history
Crypto World!!!
1 steemit
almost 200K users? Similar to reddit but mostly a blogging platform,users are rewarded, decentralized
2 Yoyow.org – a New Chinese Blockchain-Based Social Media Platform
3 partiya rosta-> https://blog.wavesplatform.com/first-blockchain-social-platform-launched-based-on-waves-35894d5f202
4 Synero --> lot of hype, the coin is AMP.. private testing on ethernet happening.Some cool features
5 Akasha project-->not sure where they r .https://akasha.world/
take away is that steemit is not without competition in crypto itself.There will be more to come.It takes a huge effort from developers and community together to add features,fix issues, onboard more users,iterate and iterate, so that it attains critical mass to enjoy network effect and success in years to come

You're right @sanees, there will be a competition.
Great post.
Steemit is the best of its kind as of now, no doubt.....
This is so #yunk, I loved your analysis on social media and the crypto currency social media platform and indeed there will be tons of new interfaces and new projects in the topic, what sets apart a great project from the rest is the mentality of their creators and the love users have for it, the main thing. Is @steemit out for that change?, will they be updating and supporting, will the platform take form and be more user friendly and welcome more users and improve try to better and more innovative daily, because new ideas will come every second. I still think Steemit has a big way to go, there are still new users that are completely lost on how to start their posts and follow up their gains, interact or even posting a photo to their profiles. The lack of UE is visible, however our social media is a great place, I wont say there have been many changes and I know that there have been many people making more every day and trying to improve it, however lets see steemit also as a social media, I mean the focus the past updates has been o the revenue and the currency itself, the more improvements focus on both ares will be a master piece.
