Wow, the last time I wrote about Steem was in September when it was still trading at $1.

Time to check back in on Steem. In case you missed it Steemit CEO Ned Scott wrote a blog post recently reflecting on 2017 and looking forward to 2018.

One thing that struck is that there’s now over a dozen third-party applications on Steemit, some I’ve heard of, some I haven’t. So today I’ll review a few of the third-party applications on Steem.

Busy.org – This is another platform running on the Steemit blockchain similar to steemit.com. The benefits of busy.org is that it has a more social media feel, it has a marketplace, and you can send private messages.

Check out articles on it here and here.

DTube – It’s a decentralized YouTube, written in Javascript, that runs on top of IPFS and uses the Steem database. Meaning, you can be rewarded in Steem for your videos. You can learn more here.

DLive – It’s the first decentralized live streaming platform on Steem. It’s like a Twitch for Steem. It aims to take the middlemen out of live streaming, read more about it here.

DMania – Its creator describes it as 9GAG on Steem. 9GAG is a site with funny pics, gifs, and great memes. With DMania you can get paid for creating funny memes. Read more about it here.

Utopian – is a platform that gives people the opportunity to create a Contributor Report, which means providing code to Steemit. So it’s a platform for rewarding open-source contributors. Read more about it here.

Vessel – This is a desktop wallet for Steem created by @jesta. Learn about how to use it here.

It’s great to see all these projects building on top of Steemit. I can’t wait to see what’s next. And I definitely have to check out DMania!
