it's the nice future but it's messing up my feed when I'm just getting use to it. many are happily testing that or reblogging many post.

I'm a novice still at Steemit ~ And so far I've seen some beautiful work by other artists and interesting articles on places I'd love to see but more than likely never will, as well as information on health and healing ~ I would  love to share items that peak my interest that I feel anyone who follows me will also resonate with.

Do we get rewards for reblogs? Anyone know how this works?

P.S. Well done for spotting it, would never have noticed it myself!

Rip featured author posts. 2016-2016

I hope they also add a "don't show retweets" option like in twitter, I don't like my feed to be cluttered...

shoot... i tried it on someone else's blog, can you delete a reblog?

It's certainly an interesting idea, given that many social media platforms have something similar. It's just another way to make Steemit that much easier to use, especially if, perhaps, you are leaning away from the drama you find on other platforms and ease into this one. It will now have at least perhaps "familiar" post functions so the crossover is easier to slide into.  And I highly doubt it'll have an effect on featured author posts, mainly because the turnover of posts and reblogs will likely be in such high rotation that not everyone may see such posts, even the second or third time around.... so featured author posts can still come in handy to allow a post to really stand out, and even enhance the probability of reblogging.

I think its great, just was thinking how can i for example unblog a post i reblogged

question is: who gets the rewards ?

Nice idea! I tried it with your post here  for the first time now. :)

Hmmm this could be really neat overall. I re-blogged your post, hope it brings you lots of upvote$! I was surprised that it doesn't indicate that it's a re-blog in my feed, but it does show your name of course. I think the best part is that it will help people get vote$ after the initial 24 hour "rush" of coming from their own feed, as others and especially the newest users find it organically in someone's feed.

It's a fantastic feature, and yes, it basically takes a post from someone else and shows it to your followers. I reblogged this post, so now all of my followers will see it as well :)

This is a super cool option. Someone else can share your post on their page and when someone else clicks it, it takes them to your page. I like this!

wow interesting!

i think this is to stop "sharing author" things, now you can just "reblog" them.

we will see what will happend to introducting of authors now.

is the reblogger paid ?

Check out my link it has the answer:

I think it is a great feature (when fully implemented) - the chance is if you write a good post which fits to someones niche, you'll be rebloged (I hope so...)

why hasn'\t been this communicated? !
Again and again we ask: PLEASE TELL US WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
Sorry, huge new feature, mum's the word
"i'm guessing" is the best we got.

like as twitter's re-tweet

I tried it too. I'd like it better if I could add something to say why I reblogged it. Context is important!

Get in on my own posts, but get an error if I try to use it.

Also when I go to a comment from my list that one is highlighted
