I noticed your post, it was quite alot to get through so I have earmarked some-time later tonight when I have some downtime.

Yes, I agree that starting posts with "Hey Steemians" has no external appeal to drive SEO traffic, I didn't actually consider that, thanks for pointing it out. Luckily my post starts with a sentence referring to the Apple keynote which should be fine for that purpose.

Sure I would be happy to curate externally focussed content, however I would need to either auto-follow a curation team or be linked the posts by some sort of notification service as I am generally too busy to seek out posts to vote.

Regarding SEO not caring about Steem trending vs non-trending, I inserted an edit stating that, however I still believe trending is a good reflection fo what our community likes to write about and in any event if someone comes to Steem via a non-trending normie type post and then takes a look at trending overrun with crypto articles, it may not appeal to them, communities will solve that though..
