It would be great if Steemit Inc.. spent a little on promotion. The facebook crew wont move as they are then commenting on 'strangers' material and not their friends down the street. Even the lure of $$ doesnt seem to work.
SteemAuto I think is back, I missed a load of votes yesterday too. What I do to check now is use SteemWorld and check the@helpie account. If its voting then SteemAuto is working.
I still hope Steemit Inc will spend on marketing when they feel ready. The site is still in beta.
The site indeed is still in beta but don't let that be a showstopper for @steemit to promote a bit more ;)
