RE: [catchawhale.com] Steemit Tool that uses the power of activity analytics to potentially get you more upvotes from Whales!
I like the idea behind this, but I also want to say that for most of us, we shouldn't be focused on "chasing that whale," but rather on consistent informative articles and postings, or other creative content. This to me would be the best way to catch a whale; maybe it sees a bunch of minnows in one spot and comes over for a look.
I agree. "consistent informative articles and postings, or other creative content" is defiantly the way to go and should be the goal of every blogger. However knowing the right time to post your great article can really help get it noticed by those whales ;). I am personal extremely interested in the analytics and will be getting those up by next week
Wow! This tool is awesome! I can't even make it justice!
It says 0 upvote in the last hour but it also says he vote 33 minutes ago. What does it mean?

Thanks I'll look into this! Could be a bug ;)
I completely agree, creating awesome content and knowing when to post said content are NOT mutually exclusive. Passion for the content is important, that said a proper launch is really, really, really important. Ask any business owner. Timing is everything. Thanks so much for the post and creating this tool. I was really hoping someone would!!!
This is a great tool!
I want to try this out, not because I want to be noticed by the whales. I'm actually conceptualizing something for another design that I will make for #steem and would really love to see the analytics on when people are mostly active here :)
Very Good Point.
Yes you are on point Sir
I agree, I also feel that it's logical most users will do this. I think some things will need to change, especially how much SP whales earn for curating. I mean we shouldn't discourage curation at any level but sometimes it's clearly a "the rich get richer" situation.
Whale <3
Join me in search of SteemWhales @bullionstackers
I would agree with you if curation rewards were paid after the first payout. Right now, the inventives are stacked against whales looking for older articles that were "missed" on their first payday; you can write good stuff for a long time and suffer a decent chance that you never get paid for it if you don't get whale attention early on.
Have to agree - consistent, quality content over relying on whales is the way to go - sooner or later if your posts are informative and a great addition to SteemIt you will be rewarded - power is in the numbers, in that case Steemians - it might not happen over night, but sooner or later we could all get a chance.
PS. That domain is just to catchy to not upvote this post :) - to bad RideAWhale.com isn't available anymore :D

I completely agree @streetstyle .
Ideally @blueorgy, if i am not mistaken, in order to increase your chances of "catching a whale" one would need to keep firing away at the prime directive. That is to generate new, genuine content while simultaneously aiming to do so in a way that brings value to yourself and others in SteemEcosystem, or winning a whale over by providing content or a solution that specifically caters to a whale's interests and investments. Timing is important, but generating genuine value would increase your chances much more I would think.
Things often do get buried and even with 100's of votes can't manage any traction
Exactly the point of my #minnowcodeofconduct post. Focus on the value not on the whale. That said it may be difficult for minnows to school if no whale is present. Wonder what the best performing post (upvote count) that DID NOT get a top-500 user was.
I agree with streetstyle, in that I like the concept but also want it to work out with just posting good content consistently and hoping for the best. I hope I'm not being naive.
