Why you need Gina in your steem life
There have been a few instances recently where people (other species also) have remarked on missing comments or posts from me. Specially as I am on a negative reputation score at the moment, some of the front end interfaces like and
have made it difficult for users to see my replies to them.
Now, there is a great tool called , if you use it already, then this post may be a bit superfluous to you. But for anyone who doesn't use
yet, it's worth a look.
What is 
To put it simply, it is a bot that will track any actions you set it to track and notify you via Discord when that event occurs. If you haven't singed up to Discord yet, you can do that here:
For example, if you want a notification each time your favourite author writes a post, then will do that for you. So it's important to add anyone that you don't want to miss content from... (hint hint.. nudge nudge...)
It can even track specific words or tags. So if you wanted to track each time someone mentions your favourite crypto, then will send you a message when that happens.
Or you can track each time a post or comment includes your username... or even someone else's username! It's a great way to stay in the loop on what's going on on the steem blockchain.
How do I sign up?
The sign up process requires a few steps, but it is definitely worth the effort. I currently use it to track any posts using the #upvoteplankton tag, to see when new posts appear.
You can get detailed information on how to sign up on this post from
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@ginabot/hi-i-am-gina-i-m-here-to-help
You will need to have the Discord App on your phone and a Discord Account. Both are easy to do and free.
Once you sign up and send a small coin transfer from you wallet with a memo (that will provide), you will be all ready to go. I did mine a while ago, and you can see the transfer here... the money did come back!
Who runs
and is it reliable
The buildteam recently took over the management of and it looks like they have the resources to keep this very useful bot up and running. You can find more details about it here:
