Good idea - retweet via twitter as a default?

Yep. If, after posting, it popped up that share option by default, that would be neat.

@adamt that's a freakin great idea! A tag, which is then automatically retweeted under the account of the poster! I'd be a user, that's for sure.

Love it.

Also if it popped up on Twitter automatically that would be a super handy feature as well, I would really enjoy that. It only takes maybe a minute to write out a quick Twitter post for the vlogs I do, but it does get old doing it day after day, maybe even an option of sharing on Facebook as well?

I don't mind using other social media sites, as long as the primary one I'm using is steemit. I feel like posting there really is just advertising for here :-).

We need a way to post more than 4 times without incurring a penalty for this to work.

Agree. Perhaps there could be a dispensation for "update posts"...

IMO 4 posts a day limit is a unworkable if Steemit wants to be a social media (as well as blogging) platform. 4 posts makes sense if you're only expecting people to 'submit' meaty blog posts However encouraging people to also post short snappy content will make the site more accessible. Others can judge their (monetary) value through voting.

I like the intent of cutting down on spam, but I agree with you here. It will make the site much more friendly to people who are used to using other social media sites.
