Witness Voting - My Method ..
Who Are They, What Are They All About?
Well, you can read their posts and search for the few interviews that have been done with them, but can you really decide if they deserve your vote based on this? Yes .. lol .. but it is very time consuming. How to make it more of a personal choice, based on your own experience?
Are they involved in projects that you enjoy participating in?
For example .. STEEMSports! The following are witnesses who are involved in the project:
Another option, choose a witness (or witness owner) who you know and respect, and then check out who they voted for, as witnesses ..
For example: https://steemdb.com/@fyrstikken/data
Serious witnesses do pay attention to what the other witnesses are all about .. what their vision for STEEMIT is, what they are directing their time, energy and resources toward - @fyrstikken (@fyrst-witness) definitely does. But in the end, it is your personal choice, what you believe the witnesses should be doing / supporting .. you will not agree with anyone's choices, entirely.
Do Not Throw Votes Away!
We each have 30 votes, but that does not mean you MUST use them, especially if you wish to see your choices move up in the rankings, do not just vote vote vote, with the thought of receiving some form of return. Limit your votes to those you 'truly' wish to have a say in our collective future .. hopefully it is someone who is actually 'doing something', and actually has something to say.
Happy Voting!
A timely reminder to use our voting power to support the witnesses who shape our world here. I will add this to the list of things I am learning about Steemit. Some things only take root and grow when the ground is ready
The challenging piece will be to write down the list of initiatives one would like to see being pursued and then find who is supporting those.
I concur with @carrinm .. good reminder!
I was happy to see that, if you combine the list of @steemsport sponsor witnesses and @fyrstikken's (who we all know and love!), it very nearly matches my own choices!
Nice to see @fyrst-witness in the Top 50 .. finally! :-)
Hell yes!

Can I ask that you, as I would like to see witnesses in general do, briefly describe where you stand socially and politically on a few issues of your own choice.
In my opinion, this gives a better understanding of the more personal motivations that could be driving a witness at some point in time.
Made a very good point. I think it's good to try and interact with the witness if possible.
