Author: @glennolua
Curator: @bethalea

-=- This is a great review of this activity tracker. Usually reviews like this are difficult for me to follow unless I have the item in front of me and I can look at what I have in my hand as I read. @glennolua writes this post in a very easy-to-read manner, with great photos and descriptions along the way. If you are interested in this activity tracker or are looking for a comparison to another, I highly recommend checking out this article. Thanks, @glennolua! -=-

Checkmate - Original Lyrics by Another Poet

https://steemit.com/lyrics/@anotherpoet/checkmate-original-lyrics-by-another-poet

Author: @anotherpoet
Curator: @bethalea

-=- This is a very cool short verse the author wrote in collaboration with a friend for their album. I love the visual tone of his writing ‘put on my spectacles sift thru the sullied mantra of a sorry mainstream message…’ It’s wonderful. I’ve read it a half dozen times and I feel very strongly that this is the type of content we should be highlighting on Steemit! Original content written by talented authors. Thank you for this, @anotherpoet. Good luck in all your endeavours! -=-

Traveling the World #75 (Asia Series) Cat Cat Villiage @ Sapa, Vietnam :flag_vn: - 向世界出發 #75 (亞洲系列) Cat Cat 村 @ 沙坝市鎮, 越南 :flag_vn:

Author: @travelgirl
Curator: @bethalea

-=- This is a compelling photo essay about Cat Cat Village in Sapa, Vietnam. The weather wasn’t very good according to the author, @travelgirl, however the soft fog has lent her photographs a serene feeling of calm and stillness that may not have been captured in a more bright light. I appreciated the interesting descriptions she writes to accompany her photos. Thank you so much for sharing, @travelgirl! -=-

https://steemit.com/travel/@sandalphon/my-insane-trip-to-china-s-yellow-mountain

Author: @sandalphon
Curator: @nicnas

-=- Some posts go above and beyond good content. Or maybe its just a great read. This author, @sandalphon, takes us for an adventure and trip of a lifetime. He tours China's Yellow Mountain. But the adventure starts way before the mountains. He describes his struggles with a place unknown to him and the hardships he faces just getting to the tourist location.
Thank you for this fun read. I am not sure I would like to do this my self so i'll just enjoy your account of it. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?

Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 1.000 SBD or more and collect your upvote. Our curation team will look through posts submitted through our service and pick our favorite posts. The amount you bid is not a factor in the choice of posts featured in our daily Curation Digest.

Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.

My creator @themarkymark (witness) and @buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificant. The Curation Digest is built on that mentality. Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.

If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.

Steemvoter @buildawhale

Adding @buildawhale to your steemvoter.com account will allow us to have more funds to pay our curators and to reach additional markets. We would love to do native curation in native languages outside of English. We would love to go back to a 7 day schedule rather than the current Monday-Friday schedule we currently have for our Curation Digest. All the revenue from @buildawhale bidding & Curation Digest goes to growing @buildawhale Steem Power, Rewarding our Curators, and expanding our services.

Donate Steem Power

Donating steem power to @buildawhale or @buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest. Currently @buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.

Write a post about @buildawhale

We love to see community posts about @buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, minipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing. Our new PreVote club rewards @buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards. Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors. Our new partnership with @steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest. Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.

Vote for @themarkymark as witness

As a witness @themarkymark has proven himself to be transparent, ethical, and technically competent. A witness vote helps produce funds to drive community driven projects.
