If Bitcoin is peer-to-peer transactions without third-party intervention

Steem is peer-to-peer or even peer-to-public publishing.
Want to release a thought... Steem
Want to release a song without a record contract?  Steem.
Want to write a book without a publishing house?  Steem
Want to release news, citizen journalist style without corporate/gov control of your message:  Steem.
Text Books:  ..  you get the point.

Steem, Decentralizing Information, Entertainment and the Arts.
By the people for the people publishing...  but byoa..  (bring your own audience)

The reference to the word blog on the front-end pigeon holed us and still does.

Blogging is a bit lame and an outdated phase.  I wish the site referenced publishing instead of blogs.  Even "Post" would be an improvement.  Words Matter ask any successful corporation.

Let’s just stop blogging, posting, and publishing. Instead we can just steem.
