The News

Not too much happening on the prices front this week. I would love to see $HIVE break out, but that will depend on some decent trading and we need some publicity to drive that.

You can now get the @threespeak app from the Play Store for your Android device. This simplifies getting your videos online.

Work is going on with SportsTalkSocial to make the community work better.

Friday Follows

• @demotruk has set up @eyesonhive with a contest for the posts with the most views. If you can drive traffic to a post you could earn something.
• @golem.overlord is a new game on Hive that I have yet to check out. It looks like you need to pay something to get set up.
• @bboxonhive is a British nature photographer with some great shots who just joined Hive
• @bozz did a good post on people he follows. It also includes some he misses that have not posted in a while. I would include @katharsisdrill in that list.

Get Communal

I keep saying that Hive communities are a great way to find your audience. Here are some I like.

• Programming & Dev is where people share their programming projects, lessons and tips. If you want to learn more then this is a good place to start.
• Toys on Hive is a popular place for those who remember their own playthings, or maybe are still into them.
• Hive Statistics is where you can find out how various aspects of Hive are doing. The open nature of the platform means anyone can access the data to generate charts.

Hive Sites

I am looking to share Hive-related sites from my bookmark collection that others may find useful or interesting.

• Downvotes are always a controversial subject and this site shows who gives or gets them. It looks like around 2/3 of them are directed at the account that is used to stablise $HBD. The rest make a tiny dent in the rewards that get distributed.
• Hive Projects lists many of the projects that are being built on this platform.
• Hivesearcher is a search engine from the Ecency team.

The End

We will soon be half way through this year. Are you hitting your Hive goals? I think everyone should aim to bring at least one more person to Hive. That person is likely to need mentoring, so it is a commitment, but both sides can benefit from that.

If you are doing #FollowFriday posts or something similar then please let me know. I just use the tag and lay no claim to owning it.

Hive five!
