Steem is no longer decentralised and may steal your funds. Use Hive instead.

I have not even heard of some of these sites but Steemit is evidently the King of Steem sites and i agree that it causes confusion when they do not all tie together under the Steem banner...
Really useful this Alexa service .
Indeed, steem blockchain is demonstrating a good applicability
I'm really glad to see how well DTube is doing! This app has a huge potential, especially now that many YouTubers are getting fed up by the new policies that YT is applying these days.
The other apps have a lot of room for growth as well, and I'm especially excited about Steepshot. I think that might be able to bring in a lot of casual users who just wants to make a few dollars from their photo feed.
There is steemgigs.org -- the FIVERR of Steem :)
I used eSteem android app to publish my first blog post.
And now I am typing this from steemitstage.com. I learned this from @steemdev :)
What I like about busy.org is the autosave. We will never lose our work in case of unexpected power failure.
What I like about eSteem is the SCHEDULE feature. We can save lots of drafts and set schedule for posting. :)
But for interacting steemit and steemitstage is still the best especially for mobile users.
For videos, dtube is the best.
For photography, I like steepshot but you need a good mobile with great picture resolution because I couldn't find photo enhancer there. I don't think I'd use it.
I might stick with eSteem if I am on android and steemit/steemitstage on browsers for security purposes - can login using POSTING key. Busy.org requires generated password to login so if ever you click hacker's link by mistake, goodbye SBD!
I am also using busy.org more and more lately, it has much more useful info than steemit, but there are a lot of hiccups to the service. What I am really missing on both sites though is an easy way to navigate my own posts; some times I want to go back to a post but can't remember the title or the date, and I play a kind of guessing game with the weird search engines.
Anyway, it is very convenient to have all those sites in a handy compendium like the one you made, some of these sites look very promising. Certainly, you gave me some homework to do! :)
Finding old posts can be hard. I sometimes resort to Google.
Honestly I prefer to use busy.org than any other steem related platforms, it loads fast unlike Steemit. The only thing I love about Steemit is its "Night Mode" capability which busy.org lacks, hopefully they add that feature too in the near future.
I agree with you; @busy.org works great, and there's really not any downsides to using it besides the lack of night mode.
Plus it gives a little upvote too if you use its tag :)
The boost from @busy.org is actually based on your influence as well, so it goes from small to pretty big once you get a big following :) It's definitely worth using unless you really need to use all five tags for your posts.
Yep! At least 20Mvests or around 10,000SP from all your followers to get a busy.org vote. For a plankton like me the vote helps a a lot, plus they take no percent from the potential payout unlike other steem platforms. So it's basically a win-win for me :)
Yeah, exactly. I personally also really enjoy their UI when creating a new post, which is also a bonus.
I didn't realise these even existed. Some of them use the Steem currency (I noticed Zappl does).
In a sense I suppose that makes them ERC20 tokens and not Etherium if you get my meaning.
They are all using Steem as they share the same blockchain. You can see the posts from all of them on Steemit. Some of them only show the posts created on that service. I'm sure there are others out there. Actually, there are a load listed on Steem Projects
Thanks, I hadn't realised the Steem ecosystem was so large.
Just look here. There are far more ways to look at the blockchain and loads of other projects
I guess eSteem is the other big one, although as a mobile app it maybe doesn't into this analysis.
This site lists the various services posting to the blockchain. eSteem comes second on that, so it's popular
That's a very nice resource, @steevc! I haven't seen this before, so thanks for sharing the link. It's very interesting to see that the smaller apps actually have a somewhat okay posting share, with @busy.org being at 1/20th of Steemit. It's not a lot, but actually more than I expected.
Interesting. I might check out the photo site and see what that's all about. I tried dTube but I still haven't managed to upload a video. It always fails for me.
So the big question is - these other services, are they feeding from the same rewards pool as Steemit? i.e. are we all competing for the same resources?
I managed to upload to Dtube using Firefox today. Had problems with Chrome. Some of the services use apps, so we won't see their use reflected in web stats.
All of these are just different ways to create a post on the Steem blockchain, so they use the same pool. What they don't always make obvious is that some take a cut of the post rewards. That's their business model and they will also have to cover the cost of hosting and streaming media. This post talks about that. I don't mind paying for a service, but the costs have to explicit.
