That is a great one - not doing blogs usually but it would not be a problem to do one :-).
Good approach to recruit bulk of new folks - if the platform is ready and we might have already communities and an integrated message system (within Steemit) I would say give that a major push.
I dont think Steemit will do any integrated message though, maybe an offchain solution, but maybe not that important yet as busy.org has been doing that already. Hmm will see :D
On the other and being fast and recruit them now BEFORE THE REWARD POOL IS FULL AGAIN would be good as new users could see growing rewards (ideally also for them personally) - i still would love to see a kind of tracking where new users really came from.
