RE: Testing Short Posts with Zappl!
I honestly don't like it it does not belong here on steemit or at least should not be in the main feed. It really degrades the quality here on steemit. I tested it out last night and decided I wont be using it till something changes.
Hi, @jerrybanfield
What is your opinion on posting at zapp1?
It was made to look like Twitter so...
It a trade off, I like it but understand it may look like spam to others. But zappl is a great idea
Sean so far that is what I had thought too until I considered how many comments on my posts ask for them to be shorter, how much the comments contribute to the SEO, and how many images might rank in Google search based on the images. Additionally all of my posts get shared to Facebook and Twitter meaning doing more every day helps me bring more people to Steem. I would prefer a filter option as well and I believe future versions will make it easier to separate types of posts.
ah that is a good point I didn't think about a simple post having massive amounts of comments and within those comments is where the value would be instead. For sure makes you look at it a bit differently. Works in progress I am sure it will continue to advance thanks for the feedback and new prospective.
It would be better though if @zappl will restrict the appearance of their contents within the Zappl platform only--the same thing can be said to @dmania. But I guess this is the job of @steemit, not the other way around.
I would like to see a way to filter out certain apps as well.
I think that Zappl post should remain in the zappl realm. The shorter post have a place in the STEEM blockchain but I think that steemit should offer a filter where you can disable certain categories frombeing a part of the main feed. I do use zappl about 2 times a week but find the brevity of the post unbecoming of a steemit blog post for the most part. Filters would make this 100% appealing. We have NSFW filter so we know it can be done. Perhaps this may something we find in Hardfork 20.
