@taskmaster4450 i was approached by the team behind @zappl. They informed that the key to 'hiding' our activities on other apps from Steemit is dependent on the admins running Steemit. Unless our admins from Steemit decide to create the visibility function for users, there's nothing zappl can do about it.

@steemitblog @ned @steemitdev please take note <3

@taskmaster4550 I hadn't heard of Zappl until your post - Definitely will have to check this app out. Thanks for mentioning it. In the meantime, would just like to share episode 8 of Crypto nights with you!

" zappl is similar to twitter while steepshot is akin to instagram", i need to remember that, ty

I would suggest going so far as to limiting the blog page exclusively to Steemit posts only. Everything else would go somewhere else, preferably in appropriate subs. Would be nice to see since I think it would give status and real added value to [steemit.com](https://steemit.com).

Excellent review and suggestion

This could be done i guess, it would require a major modification to steemit.com though...

Great informative post. I have a question, is the Steemshot App available on the Iphone? When I search Steemshot in the Apple App Store it does not appear.

Good content on steemit will eventually be very hard to find once the Zaps start rollin in. I totally agree with you. They gotta be separate in order to maintain their individual rolls on the block chain and not just a mesh of all types of social media.

If it helps some of the problems being encountered on Steemit @taskmaster4450 I hope it will. Not being a coder or developer it does make sense.

The old interface is full

Good post, I am a photographer, it passes for my blog and sees my content, I hope that it should be of your taste, you have my vote :D greetings

Keeping it separate with a tabbed interface would be quite helpful, I think. Or a series of check-boxes to select which content from a user (or within a feed) you'd like displayed.

It's the way I feel about re-steems. Sometimes I want to see them, since it is a great way to discover new writers recommended by folks I follow. But other times I just want to get to know someone, and like to filter all that out.

I've been thinking the same exact thing recently but for different reasons. I've been using the steemconnect 2 SDK and noticed this in the "follow" function:
```
json: JSON.stringify(['follow', { follower, following, what: ['blog'] }])
```
Notice the "what" property is set to "blog". This implies to me that there is at least some level of thought / support for posting and following things other than the "blog".

I haven't been able to find any more information about this or if anything other than "blog" is actually possible at this time. I'm guessing it isn't.

Having a messy blog on SteemIt is annoying, but this issue will present much bigger problems than that as more 3rd party sites and  SMTs are released.

I'm planning a post about this as well and hope to really get through to the Steem developers to make sure they understand and will address this problem.

Steemit seems too locked down and unnecessarily tightly integrated. I noticed the same issue when I was there. There was a Twitter like integrations dapp I used, and all the tweets keep appearing on my Steemit page that the watchers there commented on my account that I'm spamming. 

But with the way Steem and Hive seems more like close cousins, I feel anything possible here should be there also. Thus, the developers are simply lazy or are yet to figure out a proper implementation. They could learn from Leothreads and even D.Buzz, among others here.
