I think the premise that Steemit is built upon could. I think some of the systems in play very much would. However, Steemit in its current state could not.
It's got the like system like FB, but lacks the personality...and personalities! Only your close friends and family can provide (this is an arguable point and more anecdotal.) It also lacks the customization of the feed.
It has the follower system and retweet system of Twitter...that's weird, retweet is a recognized word, unlike Steemit! =D I'm not a user of that network so I'm not sure what it's missing.
Steemit could improve in those areas and develop a little character, or more options so we could add our own. Great topic and looking forward to some more replies.
Resteemed!
