Now you should develop an algorithm to create and publish a directory of #localsteem tags for those 5,000 early-adopter communities in each of 20 early-adopter countries...

Actually, create an algorithm that automates the entire planet and makes it easy for a community to claim a tag.

Rock on with your practical thinking, my friend. ;D

😄😇😄

That's actually a pretty awesome idea! I love how more and more *functional applications* are starting to surface for the Steem ecosystem. Is it realistic and doable? In *some* form, why not... I mean, it took more than a decade for the Internet to go from "something for creepy nerds" to mass adoption... and look where we are NOW!

Go steemit.  All I can say is you better get on the steem train or get left in the dust

Wow this is excellent @pennsif! Nicely thought out and does seem doable. I will be interested to see how the 'Network' would look. I am very happy to help drive this forward for Lampeter, so if you need an extra pair of hands then let's get a revolution started! The only worry I have is what is the currency crashed?

We have social media overload and the majority of it is fragmented. 

Facebook wins by numbers, but as you quite rightly say no reward, if anything we are willing slaves to provide content.

Instagram, Facebook by pictures

Another started recently in my area called NextDoor! Yawn! enough!

RIP a whole bunch others, so the desire is there to find the ultimate platform that can do it all and provide an income.

So, Steemit wins. It gives reward and it's indexed by Google. Which is one of the things I have been testing while creating content on Steemit.

So, can this platform deliver where others have failed, I really think so. Can it be used for a community why not, can it create 100,00 jobs you could classify it by, if you earning from Steemit it is a job already!

I think this is a great idea.  If people wrote front ends to the blockchain, then it would facilitate this shift.  Much like Facebook groups were used to setup local trade guilds.  The current front end of steemit would not facilitate this well, but if other front ends were written to make the collection, curation and presentation of this information easier, I think it would easily create 100,000 in the UK, millions around the world.  

With the flood of writing taking place, curators will be in high demand.  I like it!

I have been thinking of something like this.  Nevertheless, steem is already compartmentalized into communities.  Maybe not as local as you suggest but then,  it further proves that your idea will work in execution because all this communities are working on a not-so-micro level.

Most communities that exist are national,  there are some town communities but the national ones have strength. That is just geographical, interests-wise, there isn't so much of that.  

I see utopian as an interest-based community same as some other unmentioned  communities , what I am just saying is that your idea is not new but that is further proof that it will work because it has been tested and it is working.

This sounds doable. With Steem it really seems like the only limiting factor is our imaginations. Like all things, there would need to be a pioneer to test and prove the model. I think small towns may be too low tech to jump on board early, and large cities too oversaturated to build a market. After thoroughly working out the model conceptually, finding the right towns/cities to pilot this would be key.

I like this idea definitely the way forward for sure! Get it rolling out :) 💯🐒

I'd love to see an economy based on steem, but we'll have to see how governments react to that. There's so much potential in this platform to help communities all over the world

100.000 full time curators, wow, that is an amazing thought. Would it be enough to battle the 1 billion bots army?

Love your ideas pennsif and community spirit up voted! i wrote a post the other day expressing the community networking benefit of Steem too, so much untapped potential here on this platform. Keep it up :)

Thank you for giving me a different perapective about steemit. 
I come from a place where 1 out of 6 people is unemployed thats about 4 million young people, of the 24 million people in the working category, we have a decentralized government system with 47 counties, there are digital villages in these counties, lets say 100,000 people from each are taken in thats 4.7 million easy, lets say only 10% make it, thats still 470,000, so yes 100,000 is possible if the right resources are pulled with the right people driving it, Steemit can go directly influence <i>SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth</I> and loads of others indirectly @pennsif, its more than an idea, its a game changer!

Can't wait to hear more.  I just met with our libraries  programs director yesterday about setting up a Steemit bootcamp and potentially a regular curating group where people come and promote their posts.

I don't think it is a fancy dream at all. It truly has potential to do so. But, it just depends on where the creators of this platform will take us. Yes, it is up to us as well to recruit people to join Steemit, but in order for this to happen Steemit will need to improve every aspect of the functionality and options people have to make a living from Steemit. 

This is truly one interesting topic. I to wish some day I can say ***I work for Steemit.*** 

Amazing post. Loved reading it. Have an amazing day. :)

It would be a nice place to live! One day!! Steem and some sort of Basic Universal Income we could all be sitting pretty maybe

I know the idea is no ads. But monetization works. At least click through a to purchase. There is some of that with people that post articles that have their own referral links. But it would be nice to get outside ad revenue of it were targeted.

The numbers make sense. It's an awesome idea but I think it depends on two main pillars: 1. Steemit getting more popular and known worldwide (which is somehow in our circle of influence) 2. Ensuring that people who join the community and are actually looking for it to replace their full time job do have valuable content to add (which I doubt to some extent). But if this works out, hey, it's a truly magnificent way to spread entrepreneurship worldwide.

Great Analysis once again. I think you are right about all that. Soon Steemit will be giving jobs to many more creatives I hope. We have to fight for it and promote it ourselves as you do. Be active in the community but also out of it too. God Bless You great post once again. Peace and Love.

These are the visions I also see. The ability for Steem to literally drive everything we do.

And to get rid of the embarrassment that is fake news in global media.

The way you are thinking is HUGE.
Imagining how the entire world, people from all over, can contribute to make steemit grow and advance further is quite amazing.

Almost as if you are putting into place a personal steemit _business_ plan.

That's a very interesting concept! I think it could work. I believe that once Steemit is presented in a format similar to Facebook instead of a blog it would be easier to make such groups. 
@appics is aiming to be something between Instagram and etsy where you can share photos and videos as well as have a wallet to deal with payments.  
Sola is something between Instagram and tinder where you swipe through photos but I find it very hard to navigate. 
I think eventually we will see a platform emerge that is more like FB and Instagram that we're used to, and then people will feel more at ease migrating to the crypto platforms.

No, it's not a fanciful dream.  It's doable.  How, I'm not sure.  I'm IT and all matters tech challenged.

If local communities can be built on Steemit; if smaller communities can be built within these larger ones; if communities can be built around projects... these will help all community mobilizers wherever they may be.  Ease of posting, use of mobile apps, image/video uploading, voting/commenting availability... would definitely help.

Your idea makes a lot of sense and I hope there is a move in that direction
