Long time no see, steemit!
So while i have been a little out of action on steemit, i am still aware of the mass discussion about curation, guilds and stuff. Since steemit is still beta, i guess there will still be many changes, hopefully the good changes. Even though there have many criticisms about steemit's model, i have still actively tried to promote to my friends outside of steemit. I told them that they can share photos and earn some penny or even bucks. Of course, they were pretty intrigued in the first place because they love to take selfie, photo whore and such. So there is really no lack of photos or stories to fill the posts. Interestingly, after some of their experience using steemit's interface, they asked me the same question:" Why can't steemit be like Instagram!?"
Most of the common responses were that steemit would probably have a lot to gain if steemit could evolve into somewhat like instagram which makes it easy to upload photos and such. This would really attract hordes to users to steemit if that can happen!
Now some statistics on instagram from here
Strong community of more than 500 million who capture and share the world's moments on the service
Staggering 95 million photos every day
Now, I do have an instagram account (which i have set it private!) and i share lovely photos of myself and also my life.
So any opinions or are there any instagram users out there in steemit?
