while watching the new autoshare feature at https://SteemThat.com I seen this post and it got my attention for sure. You got my resteem also for writing this excellent post. You bring up points that I have made since day one. There are so many great people involved in Steem that is what is keeping it alive and growing. I honestly think that Steemit.com is the proof of concept and the other places being formed will be devour this portal as they grow. Steemit.com will be dwarfed over time and will rarely be used. Once we at SteemThat.com integrate more we will keep gobbling up the traffic and offer new ways to interact with the block chain as they have proven the concept will work.

Or places like @busy which has made huge gigantic leaps and bounds over the Steemit user interface. I prefer busy over Steemit in a lot of ways. Maybe the two will merger the best of the best and run it under both domains. That would be interesting.

@jerrybanfield 's post was thrilling and you talking about that post is exciting. The more people that get engage in these types of conversations the better for the platform. You are right about the chatter external to Steemit. Recently I help @sydesjokes launch a bot to compliment one that he is using to spread steemit posts across twitter. We at https://SteemThat.com just launch an auto posting feature to facebook and twitter when someone writes a post on SteemThat.com if we can do it Steemit.com could do it.

Thanks to https://steemworld.org I now have alot of stats to make decisions based off of. I'm happy to say that Steemit will probably break the 500,000 Members mark around the same time we break the 500 members mark if trends continue. There are alot of people working outside of the Steemit dev folks pushing hard to bring in new members and help new people learn about Steemit.

Under the promote post button on every post there are some small icons to help users share posts on the popular networks which is good but it blends in with other stuff and is hard to see. It would be nice if it were big and bold and maybe above the tags line at the end of the post.

Wow, thanks for the long reply! And it proves that you _do_ really curate all of Steemthat, haha! 

But yes, I do think Steemit is a 'first attempt'. It's a nice start but there are so many improvements that could be made, and also I sometimes wonder if this 'style' is really the most effective form for STEEM. I am hoping that with the coming 'communities' feature, and Zappl, we're seeing more styles emerge that may be more successful. 

I also think we need to have some kind of 'Steemhub' where _all_ these extra third party tools are linked and easily discovered by people. Rihgt now there's a huge learning curve to Steemit because not only is the Steem power stuff confusing, you _also_ have to do a lot of manual discovery on tools like Steemthat or Steem.supply or steemd. 

Sometimes I feel the problem of STEEM is that it's _too_ decentralized. A little centralization, from a user-experience perspective, isn't always a bad thing.

I'm working on compiling a ton of articles and how to guide on the best tools so that at least there is a solid place that links them all.  I would love to develop more tools or have developer bring there tools over and we host them so that there are at least all of the rudimentary things one would need to do Steemit. We have alot of the pieces of the puzzle I just got to keep tieing things together and get more people on board.  I agree 100% on the user experience issues. I'm working on solving some of these issue and maybe one day all of them.

Yeah I just wish it would all be integrated somehow onto Steemit. Like a STEEM 'app store' of some kind. Or perhaps a page on Steemit which acts as a 'startpage' like from back in ye olde days of the internet when those were popular. Something that gets people started in navigating this web 3.0 mess! I would call it 'Steem Plaza' and allow people to add their projects, similar to app stores, and the most popular ones would be shown at the top for easy finding. Hell, we could even introduce upvotes on them so we could support our favorite projects easily.

edit: also the steemit sidebar is terrible. I never open it and often forget it's even there. Worst place to have links, IMO. Worst place to put a Steem plaza too.

Howdy @steemthat. You know what would be really fantastic? A "compose post" app that would send directly to the blockchain, and then generate share links for your favorite steem powered site.

I really like this idea and we have done this for when folks submit posts to SteemThat.com. In phase 2 we will start working more on the Submit To Steemit page. It is from old school. Busy and others have nice ones for publishing to the block chain but do not autoshare... But if we made it like The steemthat one  so when you sent it to Steemit it would auto send to twitter, facebook, etc that would be sweet. Good thinking @relativityboy !
