Week 29: #introduceyourself Curation Post

This past week, I was honored with great reception from the community as I was not hesitant to nominate myself to be part of the @ocd whitelist. The amount of acceptance and encouragement I got from those comments was probably the best experience I have had on the ecosystem since joining! I appreciate those who provided feedback and have welcomed me into the community. As I continue to seek to add value, I will also be joining other there to integrate my #introduceyourself curation efforts with theirs as the initiative continues to be deployed once again. Yet another honor I will have in the coming weeks.

Given the importance of this efforts, I continue to look forward to feedback and recommendations I can take to improve on these efforts. I hope to spend some more time on these efforts every day to bring up the amount of posts I curate for the community to at least one daily. I will also look to improve formatting a bit in order to make it more easier to read and visit those I select to curate. This also means that I will need to decide what to do with the review of the past curation posts that I normally do every couple of weeks. Those have become time consuming and I remain unsure of how much value they are adding to the community. I will look to doing it one more time and review the results and see what feedback I get from the community before determining to make any changes.

The following are this week’s curated #introduceyourself posts from new Steemians! Please consider providing them a visit to help them onboard and provide them with motivation towards the future:

@mariangies did a brief introduction to the community and demonstrated her passion for art with a picture of a drawing she did. She is a graduate in System Engineering but has enjoyed coming to the ecosystem as she found @steemmonsters and is enjoying the game as the cards have reminded her of her time collecting cards and playing with them. She hopes to share more sketches and experiences here as she engages with the Steem Monster community!

@fral’s introduction caught my attention as it was simple, genuine and straightforward as he is looking to learn about both Steem and cryptocurrencies in general. He is an active student and loves to read books which leads him to his curiosity in learning through experience and literature. He is studying Computer Science which has led him down the path to learn some key programming languages that can enable his capabilities to add value here on the ecosystem!

@corporaterunaway had a brief introduction but other than loving the name of the account, I enjoyed the free-spirited sense I got from her post. She is a young Filipina that currently works for an International Architecture and Engineering firm which allows her to travel the world. She loves her job as much as the travel she does. The few tags that she says that define her are quite interesting and make me look forward to the content she can bring to the community!

@alicetinta has introduced herself emphasizing her love for simple things in life like coffee and cooking healthy. She feels that the platform can be engaging and uplifting which have her looking forward to sharing her thoughts and experiences on cooking healthy foods. She is a dog lover and enjoys day trips close to nature.

I hope this to be an evolving process to the benefit of the community so please continue providing feedback to support these and all the new users coming to the platform. I am looking forward to more new users coming and engaging with the community to solidify the social aspect of the #STEEM blockchain.

Have there been any new users you have found that I can pay a visit to? How can we continue to support new users in order to manage their expectations coming to this new platform? I look forward to your thoughts and feedback in the comments below!

I look forward to seeing the community actively engaged to provide feedback to support incoming users with the proper education and motivation to get off on the right foot in the ecosystem!
