Today's 5
Today's Top 5 is going to be a little different. I've got three very cool new Steemians to share with you, but then I have two that I want to share who already have a following! I found in my introduceyourself search a new Steemian with a Youtube Channel of 50k+ subscribers, and a Photographer whose work has had over 10 million views. So I think by our standards, they qualify as Steem Celebrity! But don't skip the first three! They are all great new additions to the platform!
So Let's get to it!
First up today I want to share a little music with you! Meet @cosmion, who was introduced to this site by his brother, a friend, and a wired.com article! Austin is "A Travel Professional by day, and a musician and dreamer by night". He has a story to tell about how he got here, and why it has taken him awhile to share his first post with us. But what I want to get to is his music. Go to his post and check out the link to Bandcamp, where you can listen to some of his music! I am listening to it as I type this, it is hard to explain, it almost feels like a mix of the gamer music of a good nintendo platform game from the 80's mixed with today's electro club scene. His username is also his musical pseudonym, and means "an act of the universe". Head on over and check out his sound! You won't regret it!
In fact, go start his album "Duodeciphonia" and come back to read the rest of this post the way I wrote it. Don't worry, I'll wait....
Oh good! You're back! I hope you are jamming along to some kicking beats as we move into Exploring a New World. In this second introduction we are going to meet @myriam, whose real life name is conveniently enough, Myriam. Myriam came to the United States for Graduate Studies in International Relations and Political Science. She's been a typist, secretary, translator, teacher, researcher and writer. But what she really wants to be is a war correspondent or investigative journalist. That's some dangerous dreaming! She believes that every step she has taken has been leading her to where she is now, and that's a good place to be. Go on over and welcome her to this brand new place, and show her she is on the right path!
Our third new Steemian today Asks What the F❤️k is Steemit?, and introduces herself as "Anne (for now). Is her name going to change? We don't really know! What we do know is that Anne figures she either has to ride the wave of this tsunami or drown. Anne learned about Steem from @freemanreporter and was given a task as part of her business accelerator course. She asks how much fun she can have, and if she will ever write another blog. Let's make sure she does write plenty more by giving her a warm welcome to the platform!
Photographs are amazing! Regardless of the camera, an old camera phone, or the latest in digital professional photography, sharing images can convey so much! Next I get to introduce Rob Downie who is going by the username @intrepidphotos. He asks Is steemit the new home of photography?. He Hopes so, and with great images like he shares with us, I am sure you will agree we do too! He has over twenty years in the field of, as he calls it, "Adventure travel photography", spanning over thirty countries! His images have been shared in National Geographic and Lonely Planet. 80,000 People follow his art across multiple social media platforms, and his photographs have been viewed tens of millions of times! He shares a brief glimpse of his work, and invites us to his personal website where we can view more. Make sure he knows how appreciated his art is, and give him a welcome and a follow!
So I cheated a little bit on the last introduction today. You see, @balkantech posted his Introduction Post to Twitter, which was resteemed by @stellabelle. When I saw the title "I have waited too long. Time to get Serious About Steem!". Of course I had to check him out! @balkantech is a "former tech blogger" but the former is because it is so hard to monetize a blog in this era. Let's prove to him that getting rewarded for blogging is a viable endeavor here on Steem! He currently has over 50k subscribers to his YouTube Channel, which he shares with us, but it is not in english, so be prepared! He's here to get the hang of Steemit because he misses blogging, and Steem offers a freedom he desires! Let's make sure to show him a good welcome, and encourage him to stick around! He promises a "real intro post soon!"
That's our list for December 11th. As a reminder, This is by no means an exhaustive list! There are loads of new Steemians who deserve to be checked out in the introduction posts. I encourage everyone to go and check some of the entries in this tag out for yourselves!
