I have recently taken a bit of a diversion on steemit towards promoting the platform to the outside world with ideas like my #signup100 project.

Steemit needs more users to reach critical mass.

We now need to up the 'steemit density' so that we do know other steemians in our area - just like on Facebook.

Then the dynamics really start to change and move up a gear.

It is great to virtually meet with other homesteaders across the country and around the world but wouldn't it be even more fantastic if say there were a dozen other steemit homesteaders within say 20 miles.

Think of the extra opportunities that might present... mutual help and support on projects, trading in steem, regular get togethers etc.

Then the virtual connects with the real and the circle is complete.
