I want to challenge everyone who was using Steemvoter to focus your curation powers on good and helping new users and those outside your normal circle.
In case you didn't notice, steemvoter is down it sounds like it could be for almost a week. This means all your favorite authors and friends aren't going to be getting there votes, so if you wish be sure to head over and support them all, but I challenge you to seek out some new users to support, take some extra time to search through some tags you enjoy and help out a few struggling minnows. They are the future and the more we can increase the active user base on steemit the better it is going to be for us all in the long term.
Of course if you do want to cast auto votes you could always use SteemAuto. I'm not familiar with it but just a couple days ago a friend here on steemit offered this great review of the service. It looks pretty robust and actually has a few more features and no paid premium service.
I hate change so I'm more than happy to wait for steemvoter to come back online and enjoy this chance to do some manual curation.
I've found great benefit and satisfaction recently with actively trying to upvote and support new users. See how you feel after the end of the week, maybe you'll have some warm and fuzzy's and feel good about the good deed you have done. There's nothing I don't like more than hitting someone new with a 100% upvote and watching there reputation rise a few points. I can't wait till my 100% upvote is finally worth a full $1. There'll be a lot of 100% votes to new users and fresh posts that day!
