Steemit really does need a Steve Jobsy-type person to make a big impact. Maybe that person will arrive, or make him or herself known. I think many of us forget that Steemit is a start up and it's bootstrapping its growth. That is a weird concept to most people. You could share the Steemit Newbies page in a post on facebook, so that your curious friends could dabble. I enjoy using all the social tools at my disposal. We are all so spoiled! I can't quit facebook because it's my rolodex and also my photo cloud storage provider.......i have a huge photo archive in there...
thanks for your kind words.
There's a joke that Gavin Andresen said along the lines of "Engineers making tools for other engineers only makes a lot of regular people unhappy."

Well Steemit has captured me now for sure. Today I spent an hour or so just going though the introduceyourself tab and writing "warm welcome to Steemit etc" to many newcomers because this one one of the things that impressed me when I joined. It is such a simple thing but a powerful and one.
It reminds me of how John Lennon fell in love with Yoko Ono. She was an artist having an exhibition in London and she grabbed John at a party and took him to her gallery in the middle of the night. When he went in he saw a step ladder in the middle of the room. He looked up and saw a magnifying glass hanging from the ceiling. He went up the ladder took hold of the magnifying glass and looked up again. He saw a tiny piece of paper glued to the ceiling and used the magnifying glass to be able to read it. It simply said: YES.
Later John said; "Well at least it was positive" lol.
Even so it obviously made a huge impression on him for him to remember it in such detail.
First impressions you know!
I probably will put something on Fb with the newby link.
I had to laugh - I also use FB for a cloud database too lol.
Only thing its good for 😀
Keep up the good work @stellabelle you are an inspiration!
Thanks! Great story too! I love weird, odd things like that in life. Keeps the mysterious part of living alive. Thanks for sharing the link with newbies! They do need our support.
