It looks like Dan Larimer isn't happy with what Steemit has become and plans to release a social media platform on his upcoming EOS platform.
There's not a lot of info on this right now just the short twitter conversation below:

Sounds exciting.. can he come up with a fair distribution system? Steemit is getting highly centralised by few big whales who are now trying to rule over.. Hopefully the new Social Media Integration on EOS must have some feature where everyone will get whatever they truly deserve
Thanks for sharing this bud, what are you're thoughts on EOS over a long enough time span.I see them as one of the platform's to watch over the next 2-3 years.Lets see how they develop over time.
thank you for your information :)
Mmmh, the concern here is that Dan has proven himself and eos has some top backing...
STEEMIT needs to steal a march now and sort out some internal issues if it wants to ward this threat off.
Ya for sure, I think as investors we need to hold Steem and EOS because there's no room for bias when investing. Obviously Dan knows Steem very well and how he'd improve upon it and I'm sure he will. But it won't be easy, Steemit could have 2 millions users by then and be in a big growth cycle. Plus the Steemit team is committed to improving Steemit and the Steem blockchain, where the EOS social media site would be a dapp on top of EOS and not Dan's primary project. Also, Dan is very smart but doesn't have a good track record of seeing projects through.
I wonder if EOS is talking about a social media website or a social media template for dapps to build off?
Yes, fair points all round. There's a lot to be said for 'first mover advantage'.
thank you my friend @honeydew2002, i follow you from Venezuela
Hey thanks for resteeming my post! I followed you :)
I didn't know about Steemfollower and Steemengine, nice info. Thanks
Very interesting @honeydew2002. While there is an issue that some accounts have absolutely crazy amounts of STEEM, Steemit still provides a lot of value to its users.
I am all for supporting social media networks that run on the blockchain, and honestly there is room for more than one. Think about Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, and many more centralised platforms; there is space for all of them, so I think that there is also space for multiple decentralised platforms.
That being said, I am a very strong supporter of Steemit, as you know from my recent project, the Steemit Success Initiative. I'm hoping to keep growing the project over the coming months to help more beginners grow on the platform!
It's people like you that strengthen this platform and help it evolve. Thanks for supporting Steemit through the Steemit Success Initiative. I've never delegated SP yet but will consider helping you cause, I'll read up on delegation. Thanks Luke
Thank you @honeydew2002, it means a lot that you think that - it is very humbling!
Thank you for considering! The easiest way to do so is explained very well in this article, thanks again for the support!
