Before started here, I must say I posted in error yesterday. The nice thing about reading the comment section is that one learns something.
I stated that 
Thus I misspoke about that.
Last week we got on the State of the DApps website. This is going to really help Steem in a number of different ways. The exposure that we get could really draw attention. As I was going through the rankings, I noticed something.
Here is a snapshot of the top listing.
What is exciting is that there are 6 Steem Applications in the top 20. This is the best we had so far and they seem to be moving up. The other day I wrote about supporting the Steem applications. One thing all of us can do is click on an app on the site and give an upvote and comment on the right hand side. We do not know how the ranking system works but it does appear that upvotes do play into it.
One other thing that caught my attention is the application Steemblr.
It says a microblogging platform. I had not heard of it so I decided to check it out.
There did not seem to be much on the 
I was concerned this was a dead applications but it just seems like there is very little activity.
Looking at the site, here is what it looks like.
As you can see, this is true microblogging akin to Twitter. I do not know the word limit although it is bigger than that site allows. People can post pictures, YouTube videos, and write text. This is great for quick messages.
Be forewarned, in reading through the developer's posts, this is a work in progress. It is operational along with some bugs. There can be a problem with getting signed on. Individuals have the option of using Steemconnect or you can post using an email. The later will not post to the blockchain although there is discussion about posting through the Steemblr account.
I had difficulty trying to log on myself. In one of my browsers, it is locked up telling me it is setting up profile on a blue screen. It is giving me flashbacks to Microsoft's blue screen of death.
In my mind, this is wonderful news. I was disappointed to see Zappl disappear. I think a social media chain needs microblogging. We see the success of Twitter and know that people like the idea of sending out quick thoughts. It seems like Steemblr will allow this. I went through a few of the developer posts and it seems they are adding more to it.
It might end up being a nice blend of Twitter and true blogging.
Check out https://steemblr.com/ to give it a try. I would be interested in feedback for those who do get it working. I know one who said she was able to. This might be right up 
Please post your experience in the comment section. I, along with others, am interested to see how it works.
Just another feather in the Steem cap.
