RE: Rock the Witness Vote! Together Our Voice Matters!
Hi @radioactivities - great post! (Resteemed)
One thing to add is users can go here to see the top 100 witnesses. (Steemit.com only shows the top 50.) There are a lot of witnesses who are just starting out and might not be in the top 50 yet, who could really use the votes if you think they are doing a good job!

The ones that are crossed out have suspended their witness accounts, so you should skip voting on those.
Also, a great way to learn more about witnesses is to read their "witness application" posts. There are links to these on both the Steemit and Steemd witness pages.
Thanks. I hope to get more people who havent really voted to continue. Many take the time to write about steemit problems, yet dont vote for witnesses! @sykochica is doing a good promotional job of it too
edit: I dont have the greatest influence but hope for a ripple effect
maybe someone can make votes for supended accounts magically disappear to reappear in their vote count. :D
Well there are different reasons to suspend your account. Most of the high up witnesses will have multiple redundant servers, but a lot of the lower ones will only have one. If they are going to go on vacation and don't want to have to worry about their server going down (and missing blocks) while they are gone, they may temporary disable their account. I turn mine off (for just a moment) any time I'm going to do updates on the server that could potentially cause it to go down, then turn it back on once I am done.
