Followers and Following

The follow feature got considerably more used by steemians since the update of our profile page last week. Follows are a very important statistic to track for authors, and it was a necessity to add it to SteemWhales.

  • Added followers and following counts to tracked statistics. These numbers will take longer to refresh than other statistics because of the inability to get information for more than 1 username at a time in the follow_api of the blockchain.
  • Added a ‘Social’ Graph on the user page to see the evolution of your followers, following, and reputation.

Here is the current TOP 50 by followers:

Steemians Activity

I added this feature in the rankings yesterday so some of you probably noticed it already. It is now possible to see which accounts are active and their last activity time/date. Every username now has a little icon with a color indicating the activity of the account so you can spot who is active or in vacation in a glance. Hovering the icon with your mouse will display full information.

This activity detects any activity on the blockchain, including market transactions, power-downs, and what-not.

Activity Feature Preview

  • Green > Last seen active less than 12 hours ago
  • Red > Inactive for 48 hours or more
  • Orange > Otherwise

About SteemWhales and Steem Promotion

A friend of mine has been running an ad on reddit for SteemWhales.com to prove the effectiveness of his advertising technique to me. For a low-cost of $5, the ad was displayed 25000 times on reddit and brought in almost 200 new visitors from diverse cryptocurrencies subreddits. Campaign Stats

I paid him for the succesful campaign and started a new one for the same cost. He gladly accepted the payment in BTC!

Considering some reddit users might be coming on SteemWhales without knowing about Steem, and because of a lack of text content for google to index, I created a straight-forward about page that explains steem to potential new adopters. If you have any idea of what to add on this page, feel free to suggest in the comments. I was feeling very uninspired…

Finally, I improved the design of the user page, and I also sneaked in a little easter egg (free $5 for the person who comments about it first).

SteemWhales.com keeps growing as the number of steem users grows. Thanks to everyone for your daily visit and continuous support.
