For starters Steemit != STEEM.
STEEM is a coin and a blockchain while Steemit.com is just main (or maybe we just call it FIRST) place thats lets you interact with the network and post.
There is plenty of places to use when Steemit.com is down or acting funky and today i want to show you @busy.org by @fabien and @ekitcho
Categories permanently on the left
You have them all the time handy when you want to browse, no need to visit main page all the time.
PMs Inside Website
I dont know if they are decentralized or not but people using busy.org can PM each others just within the portal.
Drafts and Bookmarks
Bookmarks is main thing im missing in Steem, when i find interesting post that i need for later i have to use 3rd party service to store it. Not anymore thanks to Busy!
Extended Profile Info
More info than on main site, esp about the voting power and also looks nicer imo.

Ditto thank goodness for this @kingscrown, I would hate to miss out my @papa-pepper's selfie contest because of some down time. Pesky hackers, going to give this a try next time the main site is down.... Cheer$:)

Love it! I always kind of bothers me when people refer to it as SteemIt and not Steem. There is another site called stage.steemiz.io that works really nicely too.

Hello @kingscrown
Thank you for sharing this. This morning, steemit was giving me the 504 error. I wished I had used busy.org to check my blog. I'm going to try it out next time.

It would be awesome if you could import your Steemit account to Busy. That way it would let you have all that extra functionality without starting from scratch.
I seriously don't understand why the devs for Steemit have not implemented some of that stuff. I guess their priorities are somewhere else, which is understandable, but as a user, a little annoying.

You can, it actually lets you log in via steem connect. Everything you do on the Steem blockchain is there on busy.org and you can log in as yourself. I did very easily. Unless I am misreading your comment.

STEEM is having a civil war with multiple websites. . . it could be more collaborative. SteemIT is winning so far. . . but all are failing by falling the same way other sites have already failed. . . MySpace and AOL are great examples for a historical marker of what not to do. . . Learn from mistakes... these guys are too young to remember the true cause of the downfalls.

what's the answer?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I guess my 'answer' is to look at a site like MySpace and ask "WHY DID IT FAIL?" Some will say that Facebook crushed them, but NO it was the ability to run code on the individual pages which opened it up to hackers. . . and abuse. Some of MySpace failures, I see on Steem. The anonymous accounts have huge potential for abuse. The bots here have potential for abuse. The 'cleaners' here have potential for abuse. The 'community voting groups' are not focused on creating great content, group voting has potential for abuse. What's the answer to these issues? I don't know. . .but I see them, I observe them, and I am not blinded by whales saying these things are good.

great points, the thing of it is, we need to get the steemit page running strong again... you can't expect a broad base of people to log-in thru alternative websites, it's too confusing and is a confidence killer... everything online is about ease of use and consistency / peace

Yes, we need SteemIT back Strong. I believe they will fix the problems, which are based on security and someone has attacked with DDOS attacks. This is an issue that has security answers, so it wil be fixed.

There's no civil war between Busy and Steemit. They actually work on each others projects since some time ago.
Steem was built to be UI independent in this sense. That's how we try out new ideas.

I'm new here (100 days) and I'm mostly on SteemIT. . . I didn't know that they collaborate. I don't see the need for multiple sites, unless one site is providing features different than the other. I'm fine with the independent UI perspective....

Busy and Steemit both connect to the Steem blockchain. You can try both and see which one you like best.
As I have understood it, Busy developers are independent but currently working together with developers on Steemit.
