Social Media engagement... is it overload, or the season? We are torn in soo many directions these days, its hard, nil impossible, to keep up with even many things, when our energy and focus wants to be on our goals... So how do we drive the conversation to specific tasks for others,... gamification? idk... Another thing lacking is a feel of true communities on steemit... there are alot of rings, but the interfaces are lacking in the focus groups.. sure we have tags, but is that enough? And how much of these tools I'm pondering already exist and are waiting for me to find them... information overload when more time is needed,... I've been thinking alot about portal sites and how they helped a LOT in the late 90s, early 2000s... but for whatever reason, they started to vanish... I'm thinking its because the environment at the time and every company creating a toxic environment over ad space and profit... what if the portal site was locally managed and locally maintained easily... a phone or desktop app, or combination of the two... a desktop/server/RaspPi powering your phone app.. ah ha!!! This personal server of sorts providing your daily updates for what matters to your day, be it news of various sorts, weather, staying in touch and keeping updated, errands, chores, daily todo, lists, and goals... not what others are saying is important.. using blockchain sourced information. This is the direction I'm headed with blokz.io, its a huge undertaking.. this is partially what google is doing with their entire phone system... but they are the profit off your data,... host yourself on steem and otherwise, and you get the profits.. hmmm.. how do we get more connected, while still maintaining our island, our safe zone?
looking forward to comments, don't forget, upvote and resteem! we are using steem to profit no? ^>^ and that is another conundrum in its own... whats 'rude' or proper.. who and what needs reminding of the basic things.. like do good, help others, dont just watch and not say anything... or just resteem and upvote.. or post on your feeds.. tag friends ( @lilrut ) who use the platform..
jumping topics again. this is a stream of consciousness post after all.. a lot of people in my life have a few common sayings... snoodles!!! oh, sorry, things like 'but did i die' or 'fuck you rob'... why do we fear? what is the point? just do it, whatever it is, enjoy and find beauty in things, even if uncomfortable or awkward.. test your limits and push boundaries.. drag others kicking and screaming out of their comfort zones and help them wake up.. realizing oh shit, I didn't die, and that was kinda.. fun. Have fun with me, I love games! Games can be even debating the semantics of x y or z, or just sharing tips and tricks on that switch Zelda game... BRUHHHH!!!!!! sooo many cool things!!!
Oh, thats enough for now... hopefully some read this unfiltered and not well maintained great wall of text and decides to pick up and brick or two and put em in place with me.
