The News
The $HIVE price is not doing too much at the moment, but at least it is staying over 20c. More interesting is what is happening with $LEO. It may surpass the 'legacy shitcoin' soon.
The Hive Snaps mobile app is moving fast and has reached beta. They even have a mascot called @snapie.
I am so pleased that I managed to hook @mcsamm up with the Somewhere On Earth podcast team. It is a cool show about technology from around the world and I have known the team since they did a similar show at the BBC. @mcsamm was interviewed about the Ghana borehole project and he talked a lot about Hive too. Please leave them some feedback on their social accounts. They are not on Hive yet, but perhaps we can persuade them to join. I know they gave up on Twtr.
I hope people are keeping up with news about @hivefest in Malaysia. If you cannot get there then there are other events going on around the world. One of those is Hive-Summit in Aachen, Germany later this month.
Friday Follows
- I always like to see people do cool things with social media. @ankapolo made a scale model of the solar system in a post.
- At Hivefest last year I met some people from @skatehive. They have a lot of stuff going on, including their own Hive front end and skaters are posting lot of stuff in our short form feeds.
- @ebass has been interviewing people from the Hive community. He asked me to come on his show, but I have just been too busy lately.
- I see @ravenmus1c has been creating graphics for various people on Hive. Any project needs eye-catching visuals, so talk to her if you need some.
The DogHouse
We are seeing a lot of brand new accounts posting generic messages on Snaps lately. These ones even used very similar names. This is not adding value and I expect they only care about getting some rewards. The community can act to prevent that.
Although I think we have to act against abuse I do not hold grudges against people here. If I do not agree with them or get on with them I just avoid them. I definitely do not encourage others to downvote them out of spite. I want to see less conflict here, not more. Any such accusations against me are totally untrue. If you accused of acting like that on my behalf then I hope you will make it clear that I had nothing to do with it.
The End
Hive will never be perfect. It can be like the wild west at times, but I still prefer it to other platforms. Nobody can stop you from posting here, but you have to accept that it is a small community and bad behaviour will stand out. Try to focus on the positive.

Thanks once again for the opportunity, @steevc. I strongly believe that, with the continuous talk about the boreholes on various platforms around the world, we spread hive to tell the world of the good side of blockchain that people do not know.
I hope it spreads awareness. Do you find people in Ghana take to Hive? I get that some may have limited internet access.

@steevc Thank you so much for the mention and support! I am devising more posts that can be not just read, but also experienced. ☀️🌑🌕🌎🔴🟠🪐🥶🔵💀 and will probably run a contest to challenge other people's markdown creativity down the line.
I love the planet icons!
I'm not much of a one for design. I know it's possible to get quite creative in a Hive post, but I keep mine simple.
🤗 thank you!
Thank you so very much for the mention @steevc. Hopefully we get to have a show together soonest 🫶. And to others who are interested to come up on stage with me to explore through hive and beyond and you don’t have an idea of how to reach me; you can contact me through my discord channel #emmanuelhappy. And for those that aren’t so familiar with what I do on this space, you can go through my previous shows to have an idea of what it’s all about, thank you! And do have a great weekend , XoXo🥂.
I'm just very busy these days, but it may happen eventually.
I totally understand how busy you can be!
But I still look forward to it happen soonest with so much respect and love 🫶.
Interesting, so is the snaps mobile app just a dedicated front end for the short form stuff?
Yes it is. Handy for quick updates when out and about. Not everything needs a long post.
I will check out that said podcast i have been into podcasts and book reading this year so looking forward to adding something new to my ears and give me a break from the endless Joe Rogan podcasts.
Hive will always have spam but we strive everyday to promote those who dedicate time and effort and are passionate hive users.
Glad Hive Fest is still going, maybe there will be A uk meetup again soon.
I listen to a lot of podcasts, but not necessarily the high profile ones. I've never listened to Rogan. I think an hour is plenty long enough for any show.
