Things are changing quickly on the Leofinance platform. We are seeing a lot of development along with different plans.
One feature that is in the works and already announced is the Microblogging feature integrated into the Leofinance front end.
While we do not have a release date, hopefully we see this added before the end of the year.
So why is this a total game changer?
Let us be honest. Hive has not been a friendly place for most Internet users. The idea of "quality content only" serves a purpose but misses most of what the masses are into. If we look at most of what is posted on social media, the majority of it does not come close to quality.
At the same time, we are live in an era where people's attention span is rather short. They like quick hits. It is not surprising to see the success of Twitter. This caters to the "rapid fire" people are accustomed to.
Leofinance is about to enter this ring. Therefore, there is a place for all crypto and finance related content, no matter what it looks like. Short or long form, both are welcome. This is a novel breakthrough which should yield huge results.
Leofinance is doing an exception job of fostering engagement. The posts that are on here get a fair bit of commenting. People are forging relationships through their interactions.
However, how many posts a day do each of us do? How much content is really on Leofinance? According to the weekly reports, there are roughly 175 posts a day. We also have others that are not from the front end yet have the Leofinance tag. Sadly, many of these are reward scalping and do not have much application to what this community focuses upon.
In short, most put up a post, perhaps two, on a daily basis. This is an acceptable amount for long form content.
That said, when it comes to microblogging, or short form content, we can see that number increase a great deal. This is especially true in the realm of finance and cryptocurrency.
One of the reasons I am so excited about this feature is because of what content is now going to be a regular part of this platform.
Just consider some of the things that people will likely be posting:
Basically, the idea of quality content is eliminated in this section of Leofinance. Now, the only requirement is that it is applicable content. In fact, it is suggested that posts like the ones just mentioned are added in large amounts. If Leofinance truly will serve as an epicenter for crypto and financial information, posts of this nature are required.
Ultimately, the value of the entire platform will be increased because of the knowledge of the information that is posted on here.
This seems counterintuitive but the addition of microblogging will actually allow for much more quality content.
We have a problem with all the posts being mixed in together. Here is an example that I came across today.
This is not meant to be an attack on the author as much to exemplify what the new "setup" offers.
Here is a post that is on Leofinance. It is less than 100 words along with an image. Is this content informative? Sure. This helps people learn something.
However, this does not even come close to qualifying as quality content. It is something that caused great debate for years on Hive.
With the microblogging feature, the author would have a place for his/her content. This is an ideal post for the short from section of the site. The removal of it from the long form section will "clean" it up.
This means that people will have an easier time finding the content they are looking for. At the same time, there will be a lot of valuable (informative) posts in the short form section.
Those who are interesting is more serious content creation can focus upon that while others who simply want to engage with others via sharing links and charts have a place too.
Ultimately, this separation will help each area to prosper, taking Leofinance to much greater heights.
It is a game changer.
