Steembay is not an external website, which I would argue is what we need so that people don't have to do any thinking to understand how it works.
People just want to click and buy stuff, a la Amazon. Not make posts and comments with special codes. Maybe it could be some new kind of paradigm shift for online shopping but for mass adoption I think it's better to stay on the safe side and copy things that are already working.
bingo, best not to try to reinvent the wheel, just put the thing on the STEEM blockchain!
Did you ever use steembay? It's very easy, and I guess it will be rather successful.
And yes, I think it was a really good decision to "reinvent the wheel" by creating STEEM/STEEMIT instead of copying facebook - that's exactly why I am here and not using facebook. :)
it would be smart to make a steembook app
