I'm recommending steemit to all my friends, family, supporters, comrades, supporters and subscribers.
One to one, face to face is always best way to recommend new things though imo.
Of course, outreach will only work if we keep creating fresh, quality content which will appeal to noobs, otherwise they'll likely be put off by the mountains of posts about crypto-currency, which is still an alien concept to many.
I don't know anything about @fundition yet, will have a look asap.
