A story of a homeless mom - whales' casual life revealed


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/whalefoodf2cff.png


Be patient. We will get to the story soon.


Recently, we have been given more information about popular tags if you just click “Show more tags..” under “Tags and Topics“ to the right of your screen. Then you get to see how different tags are doing during a certain period of time (I don’t know how long it is). The information is good for users to learn more about what is hot and what is (relatively) not on this platform - be it helpful for using tags in own post or just for fun. 


However, it may contain quite a lot of information about how whales are swimming in this steemy blue ocean. Many are keen on knowing how whales vote. That’s fine, but that doesn’t mean that we cannot care more about them as friends or the respected elders at the same time. Assuming that how tags are doing is highly associated with whales’ activities, we get to know more about them as peer maritime creatures… Let’s take a look.


First you have to remove all those “hard” and serious tags from the list like tags of steemit, steem, anarchism, bitcoin, bitshares, blockchain, market, money, politics and etc. introduceyourself must also be removed as it is part of whales’ duties to welcome newbies. So, I narrow it down to 23 “soft” tags that might reflect ones’ true daily life aside from his/her job (and that is steemit for whales). See the following tags ranked by payouts from life to fitness with respective ratios calculated. 


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/155f23.png


Ok, obviously, the whales currently spend most of their attention in developing steemit as the tag steemit (1,120,380) alone exceeds the total payouts from this list. Still, they need to take a break from the serious matters and relax (but still on steemit as it is also part of the action to balance the content). We can see that whales love to travel and take photos. Aside from these, art is important and followed by food and marijuana (thank God they eat more than get high!). It is touching that the concern for homeless is more important than cooking for whaleselves. 


Let’s take a closer look. First, hobbies.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/2fe91d.png


photography and travel. Definitely among the hottest subjects. Then art, writing, music and story are at the second tier. A little bit worried about their sex life, seems not enough. Even worse, they do not have enough exercise - sports and fitness are too low. Hopefully they did travel enough to compensate this.


Next is diet.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/34cac5.png


The tag food says little about what whales like to eat. But we can see that they like to cook (recipes), or just like to watch others cook? no idea. Specifically, they like coffee, smoothies and BBQ. Check @justinlaak and @healthyrecipes and find out more about thousand-dollar coffee and smoothies


Since I have a problem categorizing marijuana, let’s take a look here.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/4299e5.png


In general, marijuana is between food and philosophy. In terms of hobby, marijuana is less important than art but more so than writing (huh?). In terms of diet, marijuana is slightly less than food (live to get high) but more than any other specified food tags. That pretty much sums it up for marijuana.


Last, let’s analyze some more 


If we include replies and rank all soft tags by payouts/replies. We will get this ranking. This p/r ratio can be interpreted as an index showing the relationship between whales’ love and that of the general public as whales have big influence on payout while everyone can engage in discussions. Maybe it can be interpreted as the divergence between the preferences of whales and the general public given that these subjects are already on the table.  


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/5d9a54.png


We can see that food and drink categories tops the list a lot. Also, whales have good hearts to favor homeless subjects. Learn how to make coffee and smoothies, people! 


Better yet, come up with A story on how a homeless mom with two kids traveling around with a vendor cart serving coffee, bbq and smoothies wins a big hand of poker and change her life and the philosophy behind it.


Finally, a piece of advice to whales


Exercise more, try more new foods, more sex for marijuana and keep looking after the homeless!

The system just blinked and sent me back to 3 days ago for 20 second


I don’t know about you but this is the first time in my 4 weeks at Steemit to see that my page was at the status of 3 days ago, and I thought what the xxxx where are my posts? I refresh the page again and it is the same. First thing I check is my Wallet. Thank god it looks alright. Then I thought this can’t be happening so I go back the the Blog page and took a screenshot to document it in case it is a rare experience. 


And it is. After like 20 seconds when I refresh again, everything goes back to normal like nothing has happened. Glad that I took the screenshot to back up MY FIRST TIME TRAVEL at STEEMIT!


Look at my evidence under. Except making the picture look more compact and easy to look, I didn’t change a thing. If you take a closer look and you will find that numbers of followers and followed ARE up-to-date, i.e. they are time travel-resistant.

DailyDialogue (beta) #0010 I said there is no theme alright?


Hello again and thank you for following my dialogue again Check the first one here. This beta version is a experimental post series that hopefully will lead to a future official DailyDialogue by me. The DailyDialogue is meant to keep track of what I thought, learnt, or even wondered in a personal way without obvious themes so I get to share many random things in my head and also document my crypto-growth every step of the way. So it is even more free style in this beta phase. Here we go.

Something New at Steemit


Just found out something changed slightly when you search for tags. You should already know how to look for tags… like this


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/14/2016-08-142.52.08e7f81.png


At the end of it you can see now there are show more topics available now


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/14/2016-08-142.52.333ad02.png


Click it and you shall see the list of different tags and replies and payout amount in a given period of time (I suppose so as there is no explanation). So now you get to know which tag is more popular and earns more if that’s what you are looking for.


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/14/2016-08-142.51.405dc8c.png


Obviously steemit is the most active tag. And life, photography and etc are also popular soft topics at Steemit (a reflection of whales’ preferences perhaps?). The most inactive tag shown is marketcap with 2 replies and our familiar 0.00 friend payout. Browse through the tags, there is a lot of information in it. A secret to you is that there is a hidden tag called NSFW which is sometimes very hot. 


A piece of advice from me. Use the tags wisely (see @berniesanders on steemit tag abuse). Do not abuse them or it may harm somehow. See? I use only one tag here and it is used only by me so far.


In addition, an even smaller change: we no longer have “pending payout” but now “potential payout” (as this amount might go down before confirmation). It is very subtle but yet signaling that the dev team is improving everyday!


Weekend Greetings - Flowers flourish in my backward… (I have quite a few photography posts if you like good photos too, check my blog @deanliu )

Oh, I almost forgot to clarify a question you may have. the “#0010” used in the title is not a typo, but is out of deliberation. It is BINARY. Check this joke


Welcome any suggestions and replies re this new experimental series! Just a reminder that it won’t be indeed daily. Welcome to tag alone and grow together!

DailyDialogue (beta) #0001 Keeping Track of My Crypto New Life


Lately I have been thinking, reading and writing so much about Steemit and all the crypto new world. Too much that I cannot organize them systematically to share with others. Just like the other day when I saw this scene when going to work and I was quite surprised that my first thought on this demolition work was:


Isn’t this what Steemit and other blockchain-based new models are doing to the world? 


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/13/IMG_20160812_08385032ed2.jpg


And today I saw my page reach these comfortable numbers (however, 200 posts are not actually 200 “posts”, see here), an idea presented itself: why not keep track of what I thought, learnt, or even wondered in a personal way without obvious themes so I get to share many random things in my head and also document my crypto-growth every step of the way? (see how no post type distinction drives me so - here)


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/13/2016-08-132.45.339f016.png 


A name like Daily Dialogue sounds cool (Deanliu’s Daily Dialogue, even more so!), so I started the beta mode as a trial version like this one. Maybe someday I will do it officially like SteemMag (by @infovore ) but of course not so professional… 


There we go. Some new developmentt I saw just now that I can share with you - introduction of Trending (30 days) - so we can check trending post of every tag within this month. Hence I get the 2nd place currently under #cn tag (thanks to you guys!) with this new feature. What an honor and surly feels great!

  • TURN ON CAPTIONS! 


Only this time I will sum it up for you in case you already have too much alcohol in your brain. The whole interview is categorized into four parts with manifesting screenshots in the following.

I don’t get this one. Very profound.


Part 4 - Ending Sentiments


https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/12/3207-africand962a.png


Dan and Ned expect everyone on Steemit to have the original primitive power from within.

“I am a narcissistic capitalist.” - Jeff. 


I guess you are not sleepy no more?!


But seriouly there are some great TRUE remarks that you should really hear:


Don’t give up if you aren’t immediately recognized like you were now … persistence pays - by Dan

It’s not just a social network … (but) an online social economy - by Ned

Their money is the social network of their economy (refering to countries) - by Dan

For other great remarks, WATCH THE VIDEO NOW AND FINISH IT!


Disclaimer - most of the post intends to be fun to read and get people to really watch the video. If somehow I have offended anyone in any way due to my insufficient understanding of English or the culture, I blame it all to Youtube captions makers and do another apology post to … you know… Last, a sincere apology to Dan, Ned and Jeff for any sacrifices you were made here. I hope the laughs are worth it.
