It was a hot in London tonight. Uncharactistically so. Tropical hot. My body was as restless as my mind... uable to sleep, a couple hours on Steemit seemed my only respite... posts read, comments made... upvotes given (I think)... moments of sleep.. followed by ALARM!... I woke to the realisation that less is more on Steemit. The less you write, the more likely people will read. Keep it short and sweet. People are on a curation spree. Is this by design? Probably not. An unintended consequence of Curation Rewards and the laxing of the vote dilution rules. Oh well, roll with the punches.... that was the plan... however you know what they say about best laid plans... Especially when you're dead tired...
Let the voting spree begin!

Really happy for @infovore. Testament to the fact that if you really want it you can get it. Hope he keeps getting it. UPVOTED
Pregnancy Diary: 29 WEEKS – Tummy Tightness and Braxton Hicks [31 May 2016]

Nobody Can Sign Up to Steemit.com Right Now and Why It's AWESOME! (Really Awesome)
Got involved in a debate with @cryptoctopus over this one. I love his stuff and he was one of the people that championed me when I first joined. See comments for why I voted and where I disagreed with the post. UPVOTED
comment by me UPVOTED
An informative, discussion provoking post. It would make curating easier if everyone was limited to a post a day (else see rewards decreased per post). However the current proposal seems to draconian UPVOTED
comment by @condra UPVOTED
A really fascinating post by @mindover and I got in early. It should do well, however I beginning to see so much good content not getting rewarded, I wouldn't be surprised if it's missed. UPVOTED
I was surprised @mummyimperfect wrote about this. As we are all still coming to terms with the news. "Bibi" was loved by us all and will be sorely missed. x UPVOTED

Ned's Making $700k+ Every Week: Is the Steem Power Interest Rate Too High?
Great points raised. It's healthy to debate. Perception is a big thing. The discrepency between the haves and have nots is huge on Steemit. Perhaps too huge. It becomes less palatable if there is a perception of Whales flocking around a handful of posts. Good brave post @lukestokes. UPVOTED
$1,100 a month to travel around the world, July 2016
@jetsetter posted this in yesterday's Chronicles. Not sure why this didn't do as well as the other travel posts that have been topping the trending page. Good work. UPVOTED.
