TWITTER POLL: People are simply fed up with Facebook..!!
STEEM & STEEMIT POLL
Regular readers of my Blog may have noticed that I have not been around this week.
I was away for the Bank Holiday Weekend and decided to extend my break a few days.
It was a great break and one that allowed me to reflect on the last nine months I have been Blogging on STEEMIT.
As most of you know who read my Blog I am a massive fan of the site and have on many occasions explained that I had been waiting nearly ten years for a site like STEEMIT to come along, four of which I have been pursuing a site on the Blockchain.
When I was first introduced to STEEMIT back in August of last year it took me seconds to realise it's potential as it was EXACTLY what I had been looking for all that time.
Some might say that waiting ten years for something is way too long to wait, I for one would totally disagree.
Ten years is nothing if what you have been waiting for is EXACTLY what you wanted.
WHILE I WAS AWAY
Most of you who follow me regularly will know that recently I put together #promo-uk, a Crowdsourced Marketing Initiative for the Marketing and Promotion of STEEMIT in the U.K. and I am looking forward to continuing the roll out of the Initiative throughout the summer.
Part of the Initiative is handing out Flyers to people on the streets, at the same time as having a good chat with them about STEEMIT.
As most of you will know, I have spoken to well over +500 people in the last few months while out on the streets, and this "One-on-one Engagement" was extended while I was away.
Over the last few days I have spoken to a lot of friends, old and new, and one thing that has totally overwhelmed me was just how fed up people were with Facebook.
While I have been talking to the students in and around Manchester I have felt a real sense of discontent about people's user experience when it came to Facebook, but it has been these last few days that this discontent and disconnect that people have with Facebook is absolutely alarming.
To say that people are fed up would be an understatement.
TWITTER POLL
One of the conversations I had while I was away was with a friend I have known for many years who is now in his mid 20's.
He was fully aware of Bitcoin, Crypotocurrencies, Steem and Steemit, though not a holder or user of any.
It was after about an hour of talking to him that the penny suddenly dropped for him and he suddenly asked this very simply question.....
".....is STEEM and STEEMIT ....a Blogging Tool? ....a Cryptocurrency? ....a Social Media Site? ....or Something more Powerful?"
It was then that I knew that those ten years waiting for STEEMIT to come along were well worth the wait.
This morning I have tabled a poll on Twitter to see what people really think.
Here is the link...

I guess we will know in three days..!!
Thanks again for reading.

It took me a long time to get onboard with Steemit, considering I was fully aware of it when it launched. I really hope, through persistent efforts like yours, we can build this to be the future of social media.
I don't wanna be anywhere else!
When people finally wake up to STEEM, STEEMIT and the complete STEEM ECOSYSTEM this will explode..!! Thanks for the support. Stephen
Vote cast! :)
Thanks Jason. I appreciate your support. Have a great weekend. Stephen
hi Stephen i am new here, no vote button on my screen?
Completely agree with this! Very happy to have joined this community.
Can't wait for this monumental shift from Social media sites taking our information and selling it on to Steem giving it back to the users!

So true about Facebook. It went the wrong way and nobody noticed it until people are fed up.
"It went the wrong way and nobody noticed it until people are fed up."

Somethings are that well said that they are worth repeating..!! Stephen
I know what you mean - I also knew the moment I caught wind of Steemit that this community is exactly what I had been putting out to the universe to see manifest. I just wish I had been able to join from jump...but as they say, all things in good time and everything happens for a reason :)
Thank you for being such a wonderful advocate of the Blockchain and Steemit. I gravitated to your posts immediately when I became a member and I appreciate every single one of them.
Much Love @stephenkendal
AWESOME..!! You are very welcome. Thanks for your support. Stephen
Wow Great post. I am impressed. Steemians such as yourself, will sail Steemit right into the mainstream of humanity. And it is not too soon. The system in place now is crumbling. Can we flee fast enough to survive to the new one?
Thank you for your great effort. I take a bow.

Thank you. I appreciate the support. Stephen
I think once more people find out about Steemit, we will eventually hit a tipping point where it will grow exponentially, like an avalanche sliding down a mountain, or like the current interest in bitcoin. I can't wait until I hear people saying, "Steemit is a bubble, it won't last".
