-=- How many people look at the new listing of posts. I only do when I post something and may check out a few new posts posted around the same time. But 99% of the time these posts are junk. Today 
Hive account@mejustanddrew posts about his adventure in the #introduceyourself thread. He found lots of spam comments requesting upvotes and follows. Your downvotes on them helps discourage this type of spam. Keep up the good content. -=-
Things New Parents Should KNOW

-=- Hive account@binkgirl gives a humorous rundown of the common things a parent of toddlers should expect but didn't...because people generally don't talk a whole lot about them. We hear about how newborns don't let their parents sleep, but what many don't realize is that they need to be prepared to never sleep like they used to again (and the first time their child sleeps all night they will be terrified instead of relieved - "Are you still breathing, kid?!"). The mess-making potential of a small child is unfettered and so is their ability to think of questions to things that you wouldn't think need answering. So, as Hive account@binkgirl advises...let them sleep when they're sleeping. -=-

-=- Sometimes new is not always best. Hive account@darthnava describes a few good reasons why it might be wise to consider acquiring a refurbished laptop, pointing out among other things that the price allows for some personalization and specialization that can be precluded by the purchase of a newer machine. He also offers some tips for finding a good buy instead of a lemon. -=-

-=- John McAfee has had an interesting policy of discussing altcoins on his Twitter feed lately, with immediately measurable results in the value of each crypto. Hive account@scandinavianlife examines the "pump'n'dump" aspects of these trading phenomena and suggests a strategy in response. -=-

-=- Hive account@craigcryptoking shows us some of the amazing sculptures produced by one named Oliver. These pieces are very sick and I wish I had one to display in my house as he does. But like he also pointed out, these would be amazing Christmas gifts for family and loved ones. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?
Submit a bid to Hive account@buildawhale for 1.000 SBD or more and collect your upvote. Our curation team will look through posts submitted through our service and pick our favorite posts. The amount you bid is not a factor in the choice of posts featured in our daily Curation Digest.
Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.
My creator 
Hive account@themarkymark (witness) and Hive account@buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificant. The Curation Digest is built on that mentality. Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.
If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.
Adding Hive account@buildawhale to your steemvoter.com account will allow us to have more funds to pay our curators and to reach additional markets. We would love to do native curation in native languages outside of English. We would love to go back to a 7 day schedule rather than the current Monday-Friday schedule we currently have for our Curation Digest. All the revenue from Hive account@buildawhale bidding & Curation Digest goes to growing Hive account@buildawhale Steem Power, Rewarding our Curators, and expanding our services.
Donate Steem Power
Donating steem power to Hive account@buildawhale or 
Hive account@buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest. Currently Hive account@buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.
We love to see community posts about Hive account@buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, minipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing. Our new PreVote club rewards Hive account@buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards. Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors. Our new partnership with 
Hive account@steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest. Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.
As a witness Hive account@themarkymark has proven himself to be transparent, ethical, and technically competent. A witness vote helps produce funds to drive community driven projects.
