100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 8 - Friday Roundup & Friday Follows

We are now one week into the 100 Days of Steem project so it will be a good time to do a roundup of what has happened in the first seven days.

As a starting point we must say we are very happy with the response so far.

We see this project as the beginning of a new phase in the development of Steem.

This project is all about working with the community, engaging with the community, getting ideas from the community, and rewarding the community.

We won’t have the resources to put into practice all the good ideas that people come up with - certainly not during this 100 day project. But this is just the first stage in a new era for Steem.

Stick with us. There are another 92 days to go...

Friday Roundup

We’ve been finding our feet this week, but are delighted with the interaction and feedback on what has been started already…

The Community Curators Project

There have been over 30 applications so far from people and projects that would like to become Community Curators. Thank you to everyone that has applied already. We are still taking applications until 21 April, and then the first batch of Community Curators will be selected to start on 1 May.

As well as the initial English language post...

Friday Follows

The 100 Days project is not just about what we’ve done, it is also about what members of the Steem community are doing.

So each Friday we would like to mention five people or projects that we have spotted doing good things during the past week.

Please do visit their blogs and give them a follow.

Steem on,
