My Top 3 Useful STEEM Sites

I was discussing with a friend yesterday on -- what else -- cryptocoins and it just dawned on me another plus to the argument that STEEM has a bright future ahead. There's plenty of participation in the community, and one area we see this being manifested is on the number of STEEM-related sites that have sprouted to date!

Now, I don't have any hard quantifiable statistics on this, but my impression is that you just can't say the same is true for most cryptocoins. Not even the likes of Bitcoin and Litecoin has as much independent sites devoted to their coins. (Let me know if I'm wrong here) Granted their use cases are different from STEEM, but it still bodes well for STEEM. I pointed out in a previous post that I believe one key aspect on the longevity of a coin is in how well it is adopted and received by the community, and this couldn't be more true for STEEM.

Thinking about all the STEEM sites I know -- and I know there are a lot that I am still not aware of -- I thought of sharing what to me are my top 3 favorite STEEM sites to date. By doing so, I hope I can also help other new Steemians who stumble upon this post.

So without further ado, the 1st ever Technerd888 STEEM-academy awards go to:

1. GINAbot
   
   This to me has got to be the most useful and the most indispensable among all the utilities for Steemians who are going to take Steemit blogging seriously. GINAbot is your eyes and ears in Steemit -- it (or should I say "she") notifies you on possibly anything you can imagine in the world of Steem. I've written a more in-depth post on Ginabot here.
2. Busy.org
   
   Another indispensable site for serious bloggers. While Steemit.com is an impressive and feature-rich site, busy.org just adds an extra layer of features that enhances your blogging experience. PLUS, you can possibly get a FREE upvote on your posts from the Busy bot as well. Check out my in-depth post here.
