Are You Overwhelmed Trying To Respond To Your Replies?
As I have grown my engagement here on steemit, I've also increased the number of people that I get replies from. I am by nature someone who believes that it is courteous to say "please" and "thank you", and this caused a problem when my interactions grew. Simply put, I like to show respect to the people that have contacted me.
I have tried many different ways to keep up, but since I do many things here, tools like GinaBot still didn't work. (Note: Ginabot is awesome, but I have hundreds of notifications a day that I want to see, and its hard to sort in that format)
Steemworld.org Solves The Problem Beautifully
In the "Account Operations" section of my steemworld.org page their is another feature that is fantastic for solving my reply issue. If you are not familiar with it, just go to https://www.steemworld.org/@yourusername (NOTE: replace "yourusername" with your username ;)
In my case it is this: https://www.steemworld.org/@davemccoy
Set It Up Right For Ease
After you've logged into your account, go to the "Account Operations" section. On the left, set the "Filter" functions to:
1) "In"
2) "Comments"
That's it. Easy peasy :)
Clean View Of All Your Replies
I like this view a lot because I can easily spot who is replying to me by name. If I see my favorites or someone I'm looking for, then it is much easier to spot them and reply quickly.
Easy Roll-Up Function
I like this feature the best. You can click on the comment and see what the body of the message it. If you want to reply, then you click directly on to the permalink. And it opens in its own tab (which is helpful because when you are finished you can just close that tab and come back to your steemworld.org screen. And you can roll it back up too ;)
Why Its Important To Reply
To me the greatest single factor in getting people to know you is to reply back to them. I'm a little old school, but if someone asks me a question, then I will try to answer or at least tell them that I don't know. Also if someone compliments me, I try to always thank them. Basically its just a sign of respect. No different from holding open a door for someone and letting them go first. I've learned in life that in order to get respect, you must be able to give respect. Nobody wants to deal with selfishness and arrogance!
OK that's it for now... I hope it helps.
I'm trying to help my followers to understand the things I learn so that together we can grow. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be more than happy to answer.
As always be humble and...
