Why We Will Support Short Form Posts (Co-Authored By @liberosist)

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Thank you for your post-

TBH we need a sexy design, chat/private messaging, a fancy post editor, the ability to pin or save posts, and an EASY way to purchase STEEM. IMO these items will attract average users that are seeking a new social site... The fact that our members ARE LEAVING STEEMIT to chat on discord is insane. Business 101 is to keep your members on your site for as long as possible, no?

I love the idea of embracing shorter posts.. in fact @inertia just posted about it so apparently there is a want, too https://steemit.com/steemit/@inertia/feature-request-share-a-link

My sister and I started @steempowertwins and our aim is to bring more life to the platform through personalized video comments. We have already received an overwhelming amount of reaction/support. More exciting ideas will be implemented soon, but it shows that our community is begging for some personalization!

I'm pretty sure Steemit Inc is working on most if not all those features. Meanwhile, the community will continue doing our bit. I love your video comments - just the kind of experiments we need!

I just pulled some metrics and it seems only ~3% of new users are posting. Yikes! If we can change the culture around the length of posts, perhaps it would seem less daunting to contribute content. Thank you!
