@teamsteem, lots of good info here, as always!

Couple of thoughts... in these promotional/explanatory posts we do to the outside world, I feel it's pretty important that we make it very clear that STEEMIT is the social content site and STEEM is the currency. This site already has a steeper learning curve than most "plug-and-play" sites, so keeping term as accurate as possible should be a priority.

For the primary tag I would propose using "promoting-steemit" rather than "promoting-steem" UNLESS a post is specifically about the *token* rather than the social site.

Be mindful of a BALANCED presentation! This doesn't apply to *you* but if people are taking their cues from "power players," SOME are out there promoting the site purely as a "make money" venue... with the unfortunate consequence of attracting lots of people who are ONLY here to *"click buttons for cash."* Whereas there's nothing in the code to prevent this, the risk is that it provides ZERO lasting value. Better so say this is *"a social content site that rewards contributors"* than calling it a *"make money online"* site. Brings two VERY different types of people in.

I get what you mean but to mean Steem is also the platform and no matter where we access the platform we can post. Steemit does what is does because Steem allow it. Steem is the thing and Steemit is just part of it. 

I understand your concern about the possible confusion it can create. We'll see how thing goes. 

Sure we'll attract unwanted attraction but hopefully more positive contributors than negative one.
