Hi @gavvet,
Thanks for your article and i'm very excited about Steemit as well!
Few days ago i made a comparison of Steemit, Steem with Foursquare, Flickr and Myspace in Google Trends and it generated the below chart:
The last 3+/- months Steem and Steemit had a lift off (blue and purple lines) (others are still declining)
The below chart is comparing Facebook and Twitter over the last 5 years:
Very excited to see that Steemit is experiencing big growth (and in difrent regions!) and it sure makes curieus what it can bring the world in the near future!
Nice!
