1000 DAYS OF STEEM : Curation Experiment - SteemCurator For A Day...

in #the1000daysofsteem4 years ago

There is a lot of great content on Steem that doesn't get the curation love it deserves.

There are good posts on so many different topics in so many languages.

How can we possibly find them all?

We can't, but you can...



SteemCurator For A Day

With @steemcurator01 now having 10 million SP and @steemcurator02 4 million SP, as The Diary Game draws to a close we are looking to spread the voting power to a wider range of Steemians producing a wider range of content.

But we can't read all posts, so we have come up with a new idea to recruit new SteemCurators every day to help.

This is the plan...


A Different Subject Each Day of the Week

To get this curation project started we have selected these subject areas for the different days of the week...

  • Monday - Health & Medicine

  • Tuesday - Technology & Science

  • Wednesday - Art & Craft

  • Thursday - Photography

  • Friday - Finance & Crypto

  • Saturday - Sport & Fitness

  • Sunday - Food & Cooking


Does this look like a good subject split?

Are we covering all the major content areas?

Any that should be dropped and swapped for something else?


We have left out music as @musicforsteem covers the performance side of that.

Current Affairs & Politics and Religion & Spirituality are two other possible areas.


A Different Curator Every Day

Under this new 'SteemCurator For A Day' program we will invite everyone interested to volunteer to join the Curator roster for their chosen subject.

We will then select a Curator for each day.

On their chosen day the Curator will be tasked with going out and finding the five best current posts in their subject area and presenting them in a digest post at the end of the day with brief reasons for each selection.

The chosen posts should be the best examples of current content in that subject that shows off the content quality on Steem.

For each of the five selected posts @steemcurator01 will give a 25% upvote (currently about $50).

The Curator for the Day will also get a 25% upvote.

We will reserve the right not to vote on any of the posts if there is any indication of abuse or obvious favoritism, or if they have used bid-bots or delegated voting services.


This is an experiment !

If people think this will work and is a good idea we can begin this straightaway as it won't detract much from the Diary Game curation.

The voting amounts and the number of selected posts may need tweaking. What do you think?

And we will have to carefully consider how we select the Curators each day.

Certainly visibility and engagement on the platform may be a big factor so make sure you are commenting - particularly on posts in your chosen subject area !

We may also call upon the Country Representatives to help with recommendations.


Does this look like a good idea?

Anyone interested in being a Curator for a Day?

Drop a comment below if you are with a brief summary of your interest/experience in your chosen subject area.

Experience curators and newcomers welcome. Language is not an issue.

Thank you,

The Steemit Team

Fantastic idea! This is great. Then maybe we will see more diverse posts on the trending page with this initiative.
I have a suggestion on the topic to be cover, maybe Creative writing(poem, fictions story,etc ) & spirituality/philosophy. Current Affairs & Politics is great too.

We will reserve the right not to vote on any of the posts if there is any indication of abuse or obvious favoritism, or if they have used bid-bots or delegated voting services.

this is a very thoughtful consideration..nice one

If it works well, we might double up and run two Curators each day to cover more topics.

Sure we could think up 14 subject areas.

The Steemit Team

Its also good idea to enable two topics each day

quality Gaming Review/post, and also Travel Post in the near future when travel restrictions lifted up post covid 19 . Hope others come with more ideas for the subject areas so more steemian coming up with great topics to write on steemit.
Curators should make sure these posts are steemexclusive/ not yet been published at any similar platform or some sort of recycling post, And of course, abide by the proof of brain concept.

hello @cryptokannon I would love to see different Fiction stories as they would make people Go inside the Scene while thinking of it also spirituality /philosophy will promote different Traditions of different countries and indeed it would be more benefitial :)

You know that now that I think about it, a category of "FAMILY" would also be good, especially at this time.

Guao, eso es algo inesperado, ser @steemcurator01 por un dia... un privilegio pero también algo ideal ya que abarca muchas áreas que no han sido cubiertas. Con esa iniciativa la mirada de steemcurator01 llegaria a mas contenido que a veces pasa desapercibido. pensare en que area puedo ayudar! 😃

Hi the Steemit Team,

With this subjects more fields will be covered. But what I am concerned about that people will be jumping producing post each day for each topic in order to be chosen. The users who really concentrate themselves on one topic will be for the rest of the week having no support.

In my opinion, now having such big delegation like 10 Mio for @steemcurator01 and 4 Mio for @steemcurator02 you should not only wait for others like selected curators present for reward 5 people from the whole week as the subjects are only for once a week. But I think those two accounts need actively looking around and peaking those bloggers who are posting original content and dedicated to Steem and reward them for being loyal to Steem.

Some of those users are bloggers and will nto take part in any contests, competitions, or specially create posts about such subjects. I know many who are busy with book editing and simply blogging between tehir work. I know another who is caring after her son but brilliat in cooking recipes but have no time for daily diary. I know some others who desperately trying to keep their community running with their little in compare to Steemit Team SP.

I think you should think about those users too!

From our side because we are unofficial Curator of Visual Art and Photography. We are doing daily curation. Therefore, I would like to apply with @stef1 account for curation of Art and Photography:

  • @stef1 account is active from 2017,

  • From 2018 created @art-venture account and curating Art and Photography, organizing regular Contests, Artists showcases

  • From May to July 20 for THREE MONTHS* was Community Curator and did curation using @steemcurator08 account.

-currently curating Art and Photography as a part of @worldofxpilar curation trial

Sincerely,

@stef1

It's an interesting proposal friend @steemitblog, for sure this will generate more awareness of what is the role of a curator, the strategy to apply, the reading and analysis of each publication, the sincerity to select the best publications, etc. It is a very beautiful function in the platform but it requires a lot of time, I join from Monday to generate refuels of selected by each branch.

For my part I see convenient to apply the following strategy, which I made known during the mid-season break,:

The representatives' accounts can be taken as "Trail", being the @steemcurator01 account the one that follows these generated trail, the representatives will be in charge of giving votes taking into consideration the voting power of @steemcurator01 and under observation of the leaders, each one of the representatives must create a report about the supports made, this way the scope of the support of @steemcurator will be completely extended to several simultaneous work fronts. With this strategy we would cover more publications and users in #TheDiaryGame every day.

This is my humble opinion or suggestion friends.

This is a great idea, i am great fan of scientific writeups and was a good member of the previously steemstem community and has been wondering when we would actually something of that sort here so when i saw that Monday would be dedicated to health and medicine i was pretty much excited. As a student health practitioner who would be graduating soon, it would be fun as well as a learning platform for me to be involved in this. I would definitely love to look up those health articles on Mondays and educate myself as well as curate them.

What a great idea! I love it.

Keep changing things up.

Thanks for this great initiatives and ideas to reach out more diverse post trending in steemit ecosystem to curate. As a science teacher I want to opt for Tuesdays- "technology and science" content to curate. Thanks for this offer.

dear @steemcurator01 as i love clicking the pictures of nature and tourists places, i would love to do curation job in photography section thank you.

Hi team, @steemitblog, @steemcurator01 probably you have seen my diary posts are filled with food menu all the time, therefore I would like to be Curator for Sunday - Food and cooking.
It's a great idea to get prepared for further projects as diary game is coming to an end in next week
Thank you for providing all these opportunities for all of us. Much appreciated.

Ps- I have also created a guide on how to use what's3words, it would be great if you check it out [Here] (https://steemit.com/hive-196725/@rishabh99946/how-to-use-what3words-the-best-location-finder)

Looks like we would get some delicious and mouth watering food 😋 hehehe
