Feedback on Feedback - A Contest in the Name of the Community
Intro
Hello, friends from across the Great Onlines!
It has been a little over half an year for me on the Steem blockchain. My first experience as a blogger, actually.
We all start with our ideals and the hope to find appreciation of what we do. We are drawn to Steem, hoping we shall find this here. After facing difficulties some are quick to assume it's the platform that's not working...
Well, honestly, which one is if you are not willing to work hard for it? How do you gain an audience? How do you get the feedback you deserve?
By persisting, of course. And remaining on the meaningful engagement path. Sooner or later you will come in contact with the communities who care about engagement. There's the huge circle of @curie encouraged people but they are so many they are more like nation. When it comes to comparison with a local community, as a persistent blogger you will find those that fall into your spheres of interest.
At least I did. And there I finally found feedback. Before I launch the contest, I want to present a few of those communities to you by just shouting out their names and leaving it to you to further explore: @travelfeed, @freewritehouse, @steemitbloggers, @bananafish, @crowdmind, @gardengnomepubs...
And, behold, a lot of those actually overlap each other! And some of them will if not already. I am working towards that since I believe in developing the good things I find in life, not just taking away as I pass them by.
So I am announcing this while waving the banners of @steemitbloggers who are currently competing in a another contest by @theycallmedan - a contest (links on bottom) for the power to curate. To engage. To give feedback. Which is exactly what the @steemitbloggers are doing. Out of the communities I mentioned above, @steemitbloggers are the ones nominated and looking for the support of the larger community - the whole blockchain. The @freewritehouse were nominated, too, but as far as I know, they are giving their full support to the @steemitbloggers.
See what I did there? In the name of a community as well as in the name of the community. And actually, in this case, in the name of all mentioned communities.
The Contest
So, today I announce this contest in which I encourage you to share your experience with feedback on the blockchain.
How
Post a comment below, telling us:
Who gives you feedback most often? You can name as many accounts as you wish, but keep it readable. The easier to encompass, the better;
Whom do you give feedback to? Same as above;
What kind of feedback are you looking for? This one is too broad, I know. It's your task to narrow it down to what you think is important.
Judging
I am the judge right now but anybody willing to sponsor the contest has a place among the judges, too.
Prizes:
One person gets 25 SP delegation by me, @manoldonchev;
I will distribute 3 to 6 sbi shares, depending on participation;
Mystery prizes - whatever the sponsors bring
Deadline:
Participation until the end of February or 00:00 GMT on the 1st of March, 2019;
Winner announcement - by 12:00 AM GMT on Friday, the 1st of March.
Everybody is eligible to participate. Discriminate, I shall not!
I will also invite a couple of individuals whom I am not able to connect to any particular community - @terazkp, @worldcapture and @lightcaptured; also @mellindor and @proxysnyder whom I invited to the platform; @runicar and and @axeman... And everybody any you decide to invite.
Come and give us your feedback!
So, if you want our efforts to weigh more, now is the chance for you to
Help Our Curation Support Grow...
by voting and sharing it with your friends.
This is the WHERE
From there, just login using SteemConnect and
help @steemitbloggers help those who promote the platform through their creations and engagement.
Yours,
Manol Donchev for @steemitbloggers
I'm in agreement with you that @steemitbloggers has bought me lots of engagement and I am fairly new to join their community.
@naturalmedicine is a wonderful community of very engaged folks in the sphere of natural medicine and with their tight connection with @homesteaderscoop the sphere has been widened and more engagement attained.
@earthtribe had been wonderful starting up as an extension of Tribesteemup to let others benefit from the community but with the changes on the blockchain so to bought changes to @earthtribe which will now stand as it's own entity and with revamped efforts from the founder should be back to offering more engagement and support on Steemit and beyond!
These are the communities I most engage with, loving the different challenges, contests and QOTW (@ecotrain was good on that one)I love when people comment and add value to whatever I had been posting about letting me get to know them better and to deepen our connections.
I know there are a lot of wonderful people here on the STEEM blockchain and I value the connections with my fellow community members.
So... it looks like I will be checking communities for the next few days ;) Thank you for your time and all the info! I consider this an entry, but if you with to focus more on something, you can always make another one.
Great book initiative, by the way! Check it out, people ;)
I left a few questions there even if they don't look like questions.
Good luck!
Hey, Thanks! I hope some folks with great content take me up on that service, breath some more life into it!
Well, I dunno if I should leave a down-n-dirty comment here or give a full response. But considering this is the last one before the night, I shall submit my entry with effort (of course me doing this in backwards style, yeah that's more for fun though :p - and my style):
- Whom I take feedback -
- Whom I give feedback -
- Feedback -
Spoken as a worthy minister of I-forgot-what-it-was would speak. I am sorry, but I have to say that I usually go with the short and cryptic (or not) feedback (or not). There are people who are much more committed than I am. And it shows.
Whatever happens here, I have decided to make my best efforts to establish more connections between the @bananafish and @steemitbloggers. People with overlapping interests and styles even... Though there may be some personal reasons some of you stray from each other, I don't know. I hope it's not that. I hope it's just a matter of chance engagement... That is about to happen.
I shall just summon @quillfire here and see what happens in a few hours.
Stepping back...quietly...

Thanks! Almost 18 more hours to make an entry ;)
I would have to say that hands down @theironfelix provides about the most robust feedback across the entire STEEM blockchain. I receive some feedback from @bananafish folks, including mostly @f3nix. I can't pretend I'm the most active user on here, however. I posted a lot at first. These days, I have so many irons in the fire that I have trouble keeping up on Steemit.
Still I'm thankful to the bananafish for running consistent, quality contests and for engaging readers and writers.

Well, neither can I pretend such a thing. I know about them irons.
Thank you for showing here, anyway. Your input is valuable to me.
