It's always good when one learns a new thing. At first you watch others do it and feel a little 'not too sure' of yourself to do the same. Web3 is indeed one vast water with a lot digest day after day. I have picked much interest in web3 courtesy to Hive. Writing a content at first was difficult, editing for errors was boring too, publishing was also a difficulty thing when I have to upload and tag several communities and front ends. Another part was to read and curate but I do these with ease these days, it just shows what commitment can achieve overtime. I wouldn't also fail to say I enjoyed a lot of encouragements from new friends I met over here. Shout out to you ALL.
With several communities and front ends to explore in the hive blockchain, it seems 24hrs is becoming too short to make a day. I spend much of my time on InLeo, it is becoming an 'everything app' and indeed a goto for lots of digital activities. That's the fun of it; when you can do many things in one platform it serves you a lot of daily hassle. I get my crypto news updates, economic news, lifestyle, travel ideas down here when I head over to articles. Other fun engagements include the Threads and guess wht popped up latest? 'Inleo shorts'.

How did I even get to know more about 3Speak as a frontend? 'Inleo shorts', I guess you are seeing why I am taking some time to appreciate inleo here. I am becoming a lover of shorts and I do well to upload as much as I can daily. Anyway, before this, I have been seeing some 3speak videos appearing on inleo but wasn't that much interested to delve deeper until the shorts surfaced. The day I made my first 'inleo shorts' and saw 3speak as the frontend to watch from I became a little curious. Over time I started following up and boom last week, I discovered a world of videos that is link to hive.

Caught ya Mr. @taskmaster4450, Lols. So what's 3speak in the first place? With not too many sentences I will come from the angle you know; YouTube. Yes, we all know YouTube as a goto place for video content in the web2 ecosystem. On the flip side, 3speak remains also a video content platform but the unique difference here is that it is hosted on the web3 platform. While the former gives control to platform owners, 3speak being a web3 (decentralized base platform) gives control to the users. You are entitled to your content and can move it wherever you see fit. Isn't this amazing? Still thinking web3 will not thrive? You will need to see the needed reason for content democratization. Let me not talk too much; find out more from their frontend; About 3speak.
So after a week study I decided to delve in and post my first ever personal video content on a web3 network, who knows, it could be my first ever in my entire digital presence. I TRY to keep my face from cameras a lot, I guess I never found real value for it till date. That's it, when you see a meaningful reason to do something, you will. I have a lot to share and learn from web3 and I guess it's time I engage the more with friends globally to get more familiar with this ecosystem. I had some tough time posting that video I must say. I was using my mobile phone so it felt a little delaying in video upload. My first video refused to go through and even the second. I had to check for some reasons. I felt the capacity was too big perhaps so I made a test run by making the video a little shorter and boom! It uploaded.

'Caught you' was my sigh of relief , smiling response. 'Let's get back to business' I added. I made a new video of myself and after entering all the needed I clicked 'save'. Did it publish? No, Oops! We go again. No too much panic, it was just waiting on my 'publish now'. I went to the 'you' icon on the mobile app and again, 'caught ya'. Maybe I should have done some editing because I actually spelled threespeak as 'threespesk'. I don't know if such editing is possible till my next content upload. I can't blame myself much for the misspelling, I was nervous and also looking a little overstressed and when I could get the video uploaded I was looking for a way to just publish.
I hope to do better next time. I will be doing a lot of blogging and vlogging on both inleo and 3speak. I will be enjoying every moment, adding to that, it's rewarding. I know I'll have to gradually learn and improve and I hope to do just that. Your ideas and contributions are highly welcomed, you guys have always come to my rescue in times of difficulties so in case you see my feed hashtag, please do well to help out, thank you.
To conclude, let me add, I am taking steps gradually to explore hive's web3 ecosystem. It has been an educating and rewarding one till date and I am sure it will get even more interesting from here. As I earlier said, web3 is very broad yet if you are willing to put in the time and effort to learn, you'll get the needed positive result.
