One correction probably will need to be made: cryptocurrency is called Steem (http://steem.io/).
Steemit is just one of many platform build on top of this blockchain. There are alternatives like:
- http://busy.org/ (different look&feel for Steem Network, check your profile there
- http://mapala.net/ (they want to focus on travels)
- https://steemdb.com/forums - Steem Forum Interface (prototype) by @jesta - read more
and few others for mobile ;)
But of course Steemit was the first one and by many it is considered as the official one.
PS.
Somewhere in the Roadmap for 2017 there was something about creating more distinction between Steem (the blockchain) and Steemit (website) - for example... right now both are using the same logo. That is going to change.
You are right, I was a bit confused about it thanks for the clarification. I've updated both posts to include that fact.
The token is more accurately called STEEM. The network is called Steem. The reference/original/main portal is referred to as Steemit or steemit.com, and the company name behind it is Steemit Inc.
So you sort of SHOUT the TOKEN STEEM but whisper the network Steem?
This gets more complicated by the minute;D~
