Steemit Suggestion Box: Comments When Resteeming
<html>
<p>This morning, I was catching up with the latest posts overnight and came across @kus-knee's really interesting post <a href="https://steemit.com/artist/@kus-knee/the-old-dog-asks-did-one-artist-really-beautify-an-entire-town"><strong>Did One Artist Really Beautify an Entire Town?</strong></a></p>
<p>It was just interesting and unique, so I decided to re-steem it-- more people should see this post!</p>
<p>Once again, I came face-to-face with the thought<em> "It would be really nice if there were an input box where we could share a little bit about WHY we're re-steeming something, when we do so."</em></p>
<p>
<div class="pull-left">
<p><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/42abdbabd2.jpg" alt="Steemit" /><br />
<em>The new era of Social Blogging</em></p>
</div>
</p>
<h2><em>This is a standard Social Media feature:</em></h2>
<p>Think about it:</p>
<p>When you "re-tweet" something on twitter, that option exists.</p>
<p>When you "share" something on Facebook, that option exists.</p>
<p>If Steemit truly hopes to blossom into a major alternative social blogging/art site with braad appeal, I think the developers seriously need to consider adding a <em>"comment when resteeming"</em> feature.&nbsp;</p>
<p>By the way, I'm<em> not</em> advocating this as another way to get rewarded, I'm suggesting it as a "value added" way to continue building community here. When I have the ability to add <em>"Resteeming this because it's one of the BEST pasta recipes ever! Tried it-- yum!"</em> or <em>"To my eye, this is one of the best sunset photos I have seen on Steemit-- what do you think?"</em> it adds a touchpoint of communication, and another reason for "engagement."&nbsp;</p>
<p>
<div class="pull-right">
<p><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/42abc81715.jpg" alt="Shadow" /><br />
<em>Shadow says: "Just DO it!"</em></p>
</div>
</p>
<h1><em>Engagement is central to building community.</em></h1>
<p>Again, not a feature designed to give the "re-steemer" <em>rewards</em>, but a feature to increase <em>engagement</em>... and to make re-steeming a little more personal.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the latter, I sometimes come across profiles that are just an almost endless list of re-steems. OK... but <em>why?</em> It would be nice to know what that person had in mind, when they shared 25 posts in a row.</p>
<p>Whether there should be a separate comment stream for resteems is open to discussion... I'm largely ambivalent, but lean towards thinking that might create too much clutter.</p>
<p>What do <em>YOU</em> think? Is this a feature we could use here? Would it be a site improvement? Should it be taken up <em>(or has it already?)</em> by developers?&nbsp;</p>

@jeanviete, thank you-- let's hope someone with influence agrees, and it becomes part of the site.

@olisan ·
yes @denmarkguy it's good improvement suggestion, but that comment  should be limited to only few words/Tags.  BTW i find the tag you use #steemitsuggestionsbox very useful, everybody could use it to drop suggestions .

@olisan, yes, I think it should be a "short" comment. The point is not to write a new post, but just to offer a quick reason/explanation. I'm not sure more tags are even necessary.

Thanks for the comment! And yes, maybe people should start using a standard tag for suggestions for site improvements-- good idea!

@silviabeneforti, same thing for me. I even went back and tried several times, thinking maybe the page hadn't loaded. I think it would definitely be an improvement to Steemit, even if just a little one.

Even keeping the comment restricted to 140 characters like Twitter would be nice.

@jacobtothe, yes even a tweet-length comment would be good... just enough to offer a brief explanation or reference.

Yes, it surprised me... and it doesn't seem like a major change, especially if it doesn't have to be monetized. Just a 500-character text box, and we're done.
