Out of all of the centralized social media platforms that are out there, there is one that I will never leave...
I can honestly, do without Facebook.
I don't show enough skin to care much about Instagram.
And SnapChat and Pinterest...I've never really messed with.
So it's easy for me to adopt the awesome dApps here on the STEEM blockchain...
From gaming to blogging, photography to videos...We have an app for that ;)
But Twitter is another story...
I joined Twitter, literally on day one. In fact my join date is stated to be May 2008...A year or so after they launched so yup over a decade on the platform.
I've loved every minute of it and it's the first social media site I understood from the get go. Heck, even STEEM had a month long learning curve for me to understand SOME of the inner workings here. But like I said...I 'got' Twitter right away.
And if you are into the cryptocurrency and blockchain space, you will know all about 'Crypto twitter'.
It's where fan boys go to shill their favorite coin or token. And where Bitcoin maximalists go to tell you how special they are and how dumb you are for using Altcoins. Wanna know about the latest ETF and SEC news concerning crypto? Check out Twitter. And if you want to see really awkward memes of Vitalik Buterin...Once again, Twitter is your place!
So when I see Twitter campaigns to attract attention to STEEM, I'm usually paying very close attention to them because I know how powerful 'crypto Twitter' can be...
every day, telling people that STEEM is where the world needs to be. And it's working...STEEM leaders like @NathanMars and @StephenKendal should be highlighted for bringing massive awareness to STEEM using Twitter. These two are in front of the masses,
Campaign after campaign, we're seeing Steemians come to Twitter and having their voices heard. We are sharing the blockchain in a big way and I'm so proud to be a part of this community.
Today I even got into the act ;)
This time last year when everything was 'moonshotting', I started to follow some of the YouTube crypto guys to stay in the loop of everything that's going on in the crypto world...
One of those guys was Crypto Bobby...A dude from the New York area that has horrible taste in football teams (I'm a Bills fan and he loves the Jets...NFL fans understand)...But he was a guy who became a go to resource for newbies in the crypto space. I learned a lot watching him and have been following him on Twitter since...
Today he sent this Tweet out...
Which I promptly replied to with this ;)
We went back and forth for a bit and you can follow along by clicking his Tweet above...But yay for Steem!
But it also showed me....We still have a LOT to do when it comes to the public perception of what the difference is between STEEM and Steemit Inc. Even experts in the field are still believe that Steemit Inc represents all of what's going on here on Steem...I got one of the more well known 'Crypto Twitter influencers' to take a look at @Partiko and @SteemMonsters a little bit more...
And Twitter will help change that!
So today I implore you....Follow guys like Nathan Mars and Stephen Kendall on Twitter and see how they are attracting the right kind of attention to our blockchain...And see how you can help bring awareness to Steem!
- Talk about the dApps!
- Actually USE the dApps and show real world use cases of them on Twitter!
- Show people how powerful and active the community is!
- Explain the difference between Steem the blockchain and Steemit Inc the app.
- Network with others in the crypto space and see what solutions Steem can offer them!
We have the most active applications on any blockchain and it's time we brag a little about that!
Every Tweet helps and we will start becoming a much more visible and active community outside of our little circle of comfort...Because it's time the world knows about the awesome things happening...Right here...Right now!

@jongolson I joined Twitter two years after you did. I'm all in on promoting STEEM on Twitter. Just finishing up and about to publish a post on that now.

If anyone wants 10 seconds promo vids made, I'll give it a go.
(just put in my 2nd entry to #sixtyseconds promo) https://steemit.com/dtube/@lucylin/r6adwv9h
I've only got basic editing software (for now), but love doing them...
Will upgrade, when I can.
My ideas are outstripping my technical ability/editing suite...which is a very positive sign.
(I went through the same process when I started photography when my camera wouldn't give me what I wanted to make..)
awesome offer for sure. should get some takers :)
Posted using Partiko iOS
I'm down, lets the buzz on twitter :)
yessir. i’m game. time to make the crypto experts feel awkward lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
Yup twitter game seems to be working , if we continue and use the excellent points you made we will build up STEEM to levels unimaginable. Good one bro!
absolutely. it’s gonna be great to see the higher engagement too.
Posted using Partiko iOS
I put out a few tweets here and there about Steem. For me, it has to seem natural or else I don't like the whole "let's push it all at once" notion.
completely agree. it has to be natural for sure. or else it’s fake and forced.
Posted using Partiko iOS
I really am trying to get busy with Twitter. Have to check out Crypto Twitter. Great post @jongolson . Just curious what's your best advice to get the word out in Twitterverse. JUst write Posts at Crypto sites there ??

Next Generation Social Media and Blockchain space Steem. Stay blessed.@jongolson, It's time to introduce Steem World to Tweet World. And in my opinion the day is not far when through twitter users are redirected towards
oh it’ll happen for sure. someone will figure out the perfect bridge app.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Let's see. Have a blessed time ahead brother.
Good work @jongolson.
I personally don't use Twitter that much, but I recently started getting very active in the FB groups dedicated to Steemians in Davao City, Philippines.
I feel like I am "community buiding" a little bit over here, and it's a great feeling 😊
oh no doubt. i hope to do much more steem promo in my local community when it warms up lol right now we are in the middle of winter.

The article was so nice that I had to tweet it, it is written by @taskmaster4450 and it is literally blowing now on Twitter...!!
I can assure you that most people are going to learn about Steemit and Steem and probably sign up....
Let us continue making noise on Twitter

Truely speaking i am not on Twitter till date because i think i dont need it. But after reading all this stuff in your article i think i should create my account on it .
Posted using Partiko Android
yeah man. it’s awesome. and allows for steem to showcase to the world what a powerful community we have.
Posted using Partiko iOS
I have slowly gone back to Twitter after a hiatus given the political environment back in 2016. It still doesn’t come naturally but I am getting back to sharing a post here and there to work my way back in. I need to spend some time there to engage like I do here but easier said that done with everything going on for me. Great exchange with Crypto Bobby (but you both are wrong, Giants are the best franchise in NY-lol)!
Posted using Partiko iOS
ha ha ha ha i’m ok with the giants. too bad they arent even a new york state team ;) lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
LOL! True but someone has to be able to beat the Patriots!
Posted using Partiko iOS
that’s the truth. please beat them anytime you can lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
I really love Twitter and IV remember meeting you there either on a Coindesk or CoinTelegraph article hehehe.
I do comment on crypto Twitter influencer's posts and sometimes I reply back and forth.
I would really love guys to go over there coz it's the only place I can have John Mcfaee or Pomp reply to my comment and that brings people to my Twitter profile that obviously has my Steemit username..
Let us all go to Twitter and make noise.
I use this same name even there for those who want to find me!
yeah man. i remember that twitter article lol
must have been the FUD-desk lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
Yeah they were creating FUD after the 70% Steemit layout...We jumped in to defend our Steem Blockchain hahaha it was fun.
lol yup. those guys are ruthless when it comes to spreading bad news.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Good to know...thats a hell of a time you are in Twitter 😁
Posted using Partiko iOS
i have zero social life lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
Well for me im in facebook, Twitter, instagram, snapchat and youtube. 😂
Posted using Partiko iOS
they tried something with zappl. not sure what happened there. shame. I guess when there's better infrastructure to support blockchain storage etc, there will be a steem twitter. Check out what RLC coin (iExec) are doing for ethereum in terms of infrastructure...
yeah i’m not sure if a twitter model is meant for blockchain. but who knows. there’s a lot smarter people than me out there creating stuff and coming up with awesome ideas. :)
Posted using Partiko iOS
The character limit of a Twitter like social network really limits what you can do.
Its hard to make a valuable post with only 240 characters. This essentially makes it a popularity contest. Not a good reward model utnfortuneately.
Posted using Partiko Android
ya. i don’t think it would work exactly like twitter does. but micro blogging and bite sized chunks of content could always do well.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Yeah the main problem would be those microblogs pulling a bunch of the reward pool away from actual bloggers.
Perhaps we'll see a microblog SMT. It would make more sense with its own token.
Posted using Partiko Android
good suggestion for sure
Posted using Partiko iOS
Can we get money from crypto Twitter
no. not directly. it’s meant to bring awareness to what we are all building here on steem.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Nice information @jongolson
Posted using Partiko iOS
thanks. glad you enjoyed it.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Thanks
Posted using Partiko iOS
I agree that a Twitter is a big influencer and educating people about Steem and Steemit off our platform is one of the best ways I can think of to get people to take a look at Steem. I applaud your efforts and certainly the efforts of the two Steemian you mention. I will seek them out on both Twitter and Steemit to support them by retweeting their tweets and upvoting their posts.
Thank you for the information.
