STEEMIT: Should we still be carrying out experiments or should we really be looking at KILLER APPLICATIONS..!!
STEEMIT - KILLER APPLICATIONS
As most of you will be aware by now there has been an experiment carried out on down-voting to counteract whale influence.
Like many that was targeted, my earlier blog was picked out for the experiment.
Now it is not the flagging experiment that I have a concern with, as I do know that the ones involved have been supportive of my work in the past.
The biggest headache I have is that I am not convinced that coming up to the first anniversary since STEEMIT came live is the right time to be carrying out such an experiment.
The problem I have is that for the last 6 months I have been shouting from the rooftops the potential of STEEMIT to practically everyone I come into contact with, both off line and on line, and just when my message was getting through this has delivered a blow.
It is difficult to sell STEEMIT to anyone sceptical and it just makes it even harder when this type of shenanigans are going on in the background.
Like I said before, the ones that are carrying out this experiment have been good to me in the past and it is a real shame that bloggers who are going out of their way to sell the site were not excluded from the experiment.
KILLER APPLICATIONS
Most of you who know me by now and have been following my work will know that I had been waiting nearly TEN YEARS for a site like STEEMIT to come along and will know that I was very excited when I first came across the platform last August.
The reason that I was excited was that for these ten years I have had a killer application for the right Social Media environment and I am convinced that STEEMIT is that environment.
I am also convinced that I am not the only one to realise the potential of such a killer application.
So the point of this blog is that I am very concerned that whilst the experimentally shenanigans are being carried out are we actually missing a golden opportunity to deliver what we should be delivering and that is A KILLER APPLICATION..!!
MARKET CAPITAL OF APPROX. $17 MILLION
Yesterday I wrote a blog about my worries of such a low valuation which currently stands at approx $17 million.
This is a MASSIVE problem should a KILLER APPLICATION be released without the monetary strength supporting the Community, as at this level STEEMIT would be simply nailed to the floor if an application was released that did not fit the agenda of the Social Media sites that have the monopoly.
Thanks again for reading.

I have been dealing with this kind of crap for years on social media. I have grown immune to the shennanigans. I remember a few surprises from the Google Plus team that literally made us rework everything. The changes set us back by months and remember we did not make anything on that platform.
Sorry to read about your cat. Hope everything is ok. I could not agree more. Just when you think we are getting somewhere someone throws in a low ball. I have just read a comment from some Muppet who flagged my post yesterday where I said I was worried about STEEM having such a low valuation and being a sitting target. It is a genuine concern that we should all be worried about. Apparently it was "scamy"..!! I guess some still have a lot to learn. Keep up the great work. I am a massive fan of your stuff. Stephen
Thank you Stephen it has been a tough week but seeing the female cat come out of her shell has been fun. I believe April will be the month when Steemit begins to really shine. At least I hope so.
Please connect to @faddat about this.
You are on the right track.
This platform can weather the change.
Keep banging that drum Stephen. I like your optimism. And it does work.
Thanks Franks. Will keep banging away..!! Stephen
