Absolutely! :) I'm very much on the same page. Sure there will be things for us to tweak and learn on curating short posts, but def see it as a good addition for Steemit to bring onboard! :)
I remember not too long ago when games weren't being allowed by the community (like steemsports, guess how many challenges, etc...) because they were viewed as vote buying. Not only have they become some of the more popular posts that are out there, they also provide a way to spread steem/SP around to users. A great learning curve for the community with that I see as a great benefit in the end. :)
