I wrote a post about SteemQ 2 weeks ago and had marketing plans for promo-uk when it was launched as something like that would be great for getting influencers in. I'm gutted.
I don't have the time to dedicate to it but somebody needs to build a model around steemit that allows it to extend out to the rest of the content on the web. If it can't go on the blockchain then build a browser extension that can upvote elsewhere on the web that then puts a post and link on steemit. Look at Wild Sparks if you dont know what i mean.
Any developers want to help do this and finish it? I will happily fund and support.
