I just want to make a quick post to test out <a href="https://busy.org/i/@stephen.king989">busy.org</a>. It's been a quite a while since I logged in to this site and, after taking a quick look around, I might be switching over permanently from steemit.com.

There were a few things that were keeping me from enjoying the site in the past that seem to be taken care of. First, I didn't like the way the post creator worked. It's been so long I can't remember what the issue was, but I think it just had some quirks that I didn't like and I preferred the basic version on steemit.com. As I'm writing this on busy.org, the post creator seems very smooth, with some better features than on steemit. 

There is a word counter, which is awesome. Plus, it tells you how long it will take to read the article. So you can decide if you need to beef it up or cut it back depending on how long it is. 

A few more things I'm noticing right off the bat:

* The notifications work - including comments, re-blogs, follows, and mentions;
* Your profile page has all kinds of useful information like voting power, vote value, and the users you re-blogged the most;
* There's a default vote slider value so you don't always have to adjust the value for each vote;
* The slider works for all users, no matter the SP;
* The vote slider shows how much the vote will be worth;
* You can save more than one post as a draft before posting;
* When viewing a post, you get a few more recent posts from the same user on the right side. This allows you to keep reading from that user without actually going to their blog page. It's helpful if you are reading from someone you read regularly and may have missed a post;
* There are links to other interesting users along the right side of the feed and the ability to expand the list to search for more interesting people to follow and read; 
* THE SEARCH BAR WORKs!! Not only does it work for posts, but it also works for users. So if you can't quite remember how to spell a specific user's name, you can actually use the search bar; and,
* DTube videos not only play right from the post on busy.org, they also play right from the feed menu so you don't even have to open the post to view the video. I'm not sure why steemit.com didn't implement the embeding of DTube videos immediately but now it's on busy.org so that's a huge bonus.

All those are a major improvement from steemit.com and that's after just looking around for a few minutes. I'm sure there are a ton of extra little features hiding in there.
