Wow.
One of the first things that came to mind as I read this was the thought that it could potentially be incorporated directly into the Steemit ecosystem as part of the "communities" feature...
If you think about what communities are about... they are part group, part discussion, part story telling, part social. Let's arbitrarily say we have a "gardening" community... it could not only incorporate Steemit posts (of a specific type) but add the "discussion" nature of a forum-- both as a "Q&A" and as a general forum... which would give us the capacity to offer the world a depth other venues simply lack.
Either way, look forward to hearing more about this!
I'll definitely make it so that communities can have their own forums :)
This is a huge sale @jesta...As an entrepreneur, I can easily get people sign-up for their own forums. Please let the community help u make this happen. I'm currently setting up a Coop business and this can be a nice products for others Coop start-up.
Just joined steemit and was missing some features to really make it adopted by millions. Simply imagine how the 'new' page would look like when a million blogger posting. You could run a virtual ventilator with that. And now here you are. GREAT! You have my support!
