Yes.

Is HIVE more like ONO or WhaleShares?

Start my own account for HiVE? That's what I am thinking at this point. Looking for one other sm expert to join forces with....

Absolutely would like to see traditional social media leveraged to market #hive somewhat aggressively. Basically, take a page out of the book of the hype-trainers, but hopefully have the product to back it up.

We need a killer app, slick UX on frontend, near-instant and free account creation, better gamification, and built-in encrypted personal-messaging engine. All of this is completely doable with a focused team.

There will also be so many improvements we can make with yearly inflation%, witness voting changes, measures to make more resilient to "51% attacks," etc. Official (HMTs?) should also be possible.

There's a lot of momentum right now and the community has proved they can rally around a common cause, so let's keep that going.

Great idea. I was a business consultant for a decade, so helped a lot of corporate marketing departments and sole proprietors with marketing. I actually have a decent Twitter presence under my own name, so I would probably just use that to retweet Hive content and otherwise participate. I could definitely help be a part of a cohesive marketing plan. 

I also create training materials and have been supported 100% by online courses the last few years. I think weaving the marketing and training together is key. As much as possible, each welcome should include a spot of training. The "How" is what stops a lot of people, even after you inspire them.

And hives should have customizable URLs too.
