With each announcement (or announcement of an upcoming announcement), it seems that the excitement for the microblogging platform is growing.
The latest news to come out discussed the two tokens being airdropped to LEO Power holders (as well as wLEO and miners) as well as the decentralization of the system.
Even before the latest video, we started to warm things up a big earlier in the week.
For those who are unaware, we brought back the daily 
This week, it was resurrected. The idea is that we now have more people active in the comment section PLUS people are starting to think about microblogging. We thought why not use this as a catchall repository for a bit of hanging out and engagement before the "Twitter on Blockchain" is released.
Without much fanfare, the response is very good. The week started out slow but gained steadily.
The number of comments look like this:
January 11th 43
January 12th 68
January 13th 55
January 14th 149
January 15th 139
What is very encouraging is these numbers are being hit with very few participants. Thus far, we only see 6 or 8 people who entered the comment section.
The idea is to post links, comments, memes, or anything else that strikes one's fancy. This is the essence of microblogging. As more people travel through the comment section, we might see more upvotes for that content, making it a bit more enticing.
It is no different than what we see in the other comment sections. The big difference is we are leaving it more open ended as the post does not provide anything to comment about. Users have the choice to bring up their own topics and post about them.
We are also seeing how the numbers will absolutely explode once the Leo app, codename ___________ is released.
The post is put up each morning, U.S. Eastern Time. As you can see from the ones that are already up there, lots of "conversations" start. While not ideal at this point, it is a way to foster online engagement.
Another point of interest is it will help to show who is going to use the new platform. These are people, if you are going to focus upon microblogging, that you will want to follow since it is obvious they are going to be heavy users.
Remember, with a new token coming out that will be applied to that platform, we are likely going to see a proof of brain type concept in there. Thus, it is of benefit to get to know those who are going to have votes on that platform.
Finally, it is a fun way to interact and joke around. Not all needs to be serious. That said, some do come in and ask questions about particular subjects. Today we had an individual who was not familiar with the entire paper wallet concept.
It is important to remember that Hive, in general, does about 4,000 comments a day. According to the weekly report, Leo did 8,000 comments over the week, with each day registering more than 1,000.
With the numbers the last few days, we are likely to see this grow some.
By the way, for those interested in being involved on the weekly comment chart, this is a great place to throw your hat in the ring.
Here is something to make things a bit more exciting.
The person who has the most comments according to the chart put up by 
This week I was torn what to do with the upvotes to the account. They are not much so I sent them to 
So whatever Leo is in the
Obviously this week will not have a payout since no awards have come in to the account since we just started posting last Monday. This means everyone has an equal chance to get on the list.
So come and join us each day in the Leomarkettalk chat.
