Why we need 'Direct Messages' on hive.blog

Hey pals thanks for not giving on me. I have been away from social media for a while that I never heard about Hive.blog when my mates did. But they say 'it's better late than never right'? So I'm glad to have joined.

First I will like to applaud the founders of steempress. I cam across it on my wordpress page when searching for plugins to install on my new website {https://dailynewsjoint.com). Despite its effectiveness, I feel the plugin is underperforming and could do more if organic promotions like referral bonuses and/or a community is formed for bloggers willing to make use of the plugin.

Now let's head straight into my point. On returning to social media and joining hive.blog I have met new friends. Hive account@belemo introduced me to the #hivenaija community. He has equally helped me cross post a few of my blog posts to the community giving me great exposure on my journey on hive.blog. I thought I could send him a private message to appreciate his kind gesture but I couldn't.

Second scenario.

Hive account@belemo had an amazing interview with Hive account@clixmoney for Hive account@dcooperation. I fell inlove with the interview (@dcooperation/interviewing-belemo-dcooperation-member) I was told i could be a part if i wanted. Anyways I tried chatting Hive account@clixmoney up to see how we can go about the interview but couldn't find the button to.

Third scenario.

I love welcoming my new friends or followers on all my social media apps. This is a little show of courtesy I learnt on Linkedin few years ago. Hive account@badmusgreene became the very first user on hive.blog to follow me last night and I was overwhelemed to have impressed someone to wanna follow me. I really wanted to send him a direct message thanking him for the follow and welcoming him to my blog but that was not possible.

Direct messages on hive.blog will

1. Create more bonds amongst users
2. Increase activities on the blockchain and most definitely yield more for the future of hive.
3. It will also help hive.blog rank higher on alexa
