Introduction


What makes them so special compared to the other area-based tags?
#kr is currently the most popular area based tag in Steemit and the 4th most popular in general after #life #photography and #steemit.

Background - Tag History

It is all back then in 7/27/2016, when @clayophere . His suggested people to use "kr" tag for every Korean related post.
This article gained 121 upvotes worth $994.06 and commented 21 times (which is WOW!)., wrote the first article using #kr tag

Lesson learned number 1 :

This is a well-planned tag

What about other similar tags? Let's have a look:

a. Spanish (2nd most popular area-based tag/ 13th globally)
@hcf27 in 5/3/2016articletraditional social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. #spanish was firstly used by (which earlier than #kr). In his @hcf27 didn't mention at all about the use of "spanish" tag. He mostly discussed his experience of the advantage he got from Steemit compared to other

b. Indonesia (3rd most popular area-based tag/ 19th globally)
07/06/2016 written by @rahmat link here The first use of #indonesia tag is in the article in . Just like "spanish" tag, not a single line discussed about the use of the tag. @rahmat mostly talked about the national record (MURI) of the first wedding where marriage vows registered in blockchain (bitcoin).

c. Aceh (4th most popular area-based tag/ 23th globally)
@lukmanreyeshere in 8/1/2016. He poorly wrote an article that only consists of one word with a (currently) Youtube deadlink.

Note: This tag deserves to be discussed exclusively (that I have a plan to do it later in a separate post) is the first person used #aceh tag in his article What makes this tag unique that #aceh represents a sub-area (province), unlike the others as a country basis.

d. Cn (5th most popular area-based tag/ 37th globally)
7/9/2016 by @roseebit. In his/her article here explain about H.E.A.T blockchain (I'm using Google translator). Like the other tags, it does not mention the use of "cn" tag. #cn is a Chinese language base tag. The first post was written in

e. Deutsch (6th most popular area-based tag/ 43th globally)
@redpalestino7/25/2016 by writing an article . The same as others, no the use of the tag discussed. started the #deutsch tag in

f. Kr-newbie (7th most popular area-based tag/ 44th globally)
A post made by @oldstone here in 5/15/2017
This tag is the youngest one amongst the others. Very impressive. just strengthening the argument that Korean is the most solid community in the world of Steemit. They even made a special tag to help newbies and provide support for them. And surprisingly the tag has appeared on the main page of Steemit.com tag list right after the #deutsch# tag.

g. Philippines (8th most popular area-based tag/ 47th globally)
This is the latest area-based tag appeared on the Steemit main page, it's 1st post started by @msrb here in 8/10/2016 and as predicted, like the others, it is just a regular post.
