I have been an avid blogger for a few years. It is a great outlet to provide information, solicit ideas and input. I blog on LinkedIn, my own blog, and several work and industry blog sites. I truly enjoy putting my ideas out there and having an intelligent discussion. I treasure and appreciate when others have an opposing or different perspective. In my industry, we a far from figuring things out. So having smart people discuss, debate, and share ideas is a way of advancing the community.
The biggest problem is a lack of feedback and engagement! So when I heard about Steemit, which rewards users to participate, I thought this was exactly how I can stimulate more discussion. I post, bring colleagues in, they are incentivized to contribute to the material, and together we advance what can be accomplished!
So I am here because I believe this platform, more than any other, will encourage people to post good material and then influence others to engage, and refine ideas to make them even better.
