Follow Friday - You can never have enough guitar

Last week I featured some guitarists in #followfriday. I am likely to pick people who interest me, but anyone is free to do their own posts helping others to gain more of a following. Building community (and communities) in Hive is key to making it a compelling social platform. Most people are not likely to make much, but if it can be as fun as other places then they will come back. I was part of a #guitar forum that was really active, but people drifted to Facebook. Hive can offer a better option for them if we work on it. It is up to us all to help with this. Even if you have little HP you can still comment and re-blog. Bring some friends to Hive and help them get started.

I have a guitar habit, but I have it under control.

I made it to orca this week mainly from just being active. I plan to keep on powering up, but do not expect to be a whale any time soon.

You can see here that the two main Hive sites have plateaued in their Alexa rankings when they should still be growing. We only really have a few thousand active users and we need far more.

And so to my suggestions for this week. Some of these I knew about before, but they may have been inactive until recently. They all happen to play acoustic guitar

@arrrds is from Canada and fairly new to Hive. He has several songs up already, but they have passed payout.
@jeffandhisguitar is a Brit who moved to Asia, but he still plays his guitar (and very nicely). He has a new song up this yesterday.
@acguitar1 has some real quality songs with great videos.
@acousticguitar is a project by @camuel who is from Scotland, but I met him in Krakow at SF3. He is doing some cool interviews with guitarists and guitar builders. This is the sort of content that we need on Hive.
@xwidep is not a guitarist as far as I know, but he is an artist who works with museums. He is based in Leicester where I should have been for a Hive event this year, but he has only just joined. We have a lot of artists on Hive already, but there is potential for it do to more for them. Imagine if you could wander around a gallery and scan a QR code to give a vote to artists of works you like even if you cannot afford to buy them. Someone needs to create an app for that.

Hive is full of creative people. It is not just about technology and crypto. I came here every day as I know I will find stuff I will enjoy. You can also find drama, but it is optional to get involved in that.

Featured people get a share of the post rewards.

Hive five!
