RE: Coming Soon: Leo Twitter
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I've been waiting to see how they would go about implementing this so that it wouldn't have the issues from some of the previous apps and this seems like it will do the trick nicely. They obviously have a very talented team of devs working in the leo office to keep rolling out such big updates at such a fast rate. Seamlessly too I might add.
This is a gamechanger and one that we can use to lure a lot more users into the eco-system going forward. People from other sites like publishox presumably use twitter to stay up to date on crypto events and this can be used to sway them to hive and posting to leo. Finally we are starting to see the users experience that we have been looking for the past few years. Who knew that it would be a tribe that would be leading the push instead of the main devs.
Hopefully they are watching what can be done with the right team and vision and use some of the resources to improve user experience as well as performance. There needs to be a balance on both sites of the work for it to be a success. Can't wait to see it coming on stream.
As I said all along, the focus should be upon the second tier applications. That is where the promotion and advancement needs to come from.
The idea of promoting Hive, basically a decentralized database, doesn't appeal to users. The idea of gaming or other things does.
Leofinance has a specific target market, albeit a good sized one. They are not after artists, photographers, or sports fans. Certainly those people are welcome if their interest is in crypto or finance. There are other communities that cater to those other wishes.
With that target audience, Leofinance, and other tribes/applications, can market direct to those people. It is not a mishmash of different things all put together in one big pot.

I'm fully with you on this one. Hive as an entity doesn't make much sense to market or try to onboard people. Hive as a database that can power communities and apps does. Then those apps and communities can be used to bring in users and value to the whole eco-system over time.
It's all about building the right tools, which leo are doing in spades at the moment. The only unfortunate thing is that it all has to be done from scratch and that there aren't a standard set of tools to pull from to make it easier or that others could follow suit.
That is my main hope for this year to see all of these tools that are being built form scratch becoming standard for other communities to take and build on even further. Open up the chain to hundreds of tribes and communities that can put in their own marketing and vision that sits their needs. It would not take the chain long to 10x or even 100x if we had 100 communities at the level that leo are heading for.
There could be something like that in the works although, from Leofinance's standpoint, it is not a high priority right now. If the initiative is not taken up by, say, mid year, it could be broached to the Leo team.
Basically their developers get stuff done.
