A couple of days ago I reported in [Steem News](https://steemit.com/hive-130836/@pennsif/the-steem-news-10-february-2020) about the Twitter crypto rankings that @offgridlife had picked up on. Crypto Buzz Tracker publishes every hour a list of the top 12 #crypto's mentoned on Twitter. @offgridlife spotted that #steem had [got up to #6 in the rankings](https://steemit.com/steem/@offgridlife/steem-the-6-most-tweeted-crypto-on-twitter-right-now).

This is great visibility for Steem and a tribute to the likes of @theycallmedan and @acidyo who have been running various campaigns to encourage Steemians to share their posts and spread the word on Twitter. It is also a product of the efforts of many Steemians like @traciyork, @whatsup, @ausbitbank and @johnspalding who are already pushing hard on Twitter. --- Since @offgridlife alerted me to these rankings I have been keeping an eye on the hourly rankings from Crypto Buzz Tracker.... * https://twitter.com/TrackThatCrypto Unfortunately after holding on to a top 12 placing for a day or so #steem has now dropped out and not reappeared since I have been watching. It would be most excellent to get back on the list. Even better if we could climb up and hold on to a top 5 position. That would put us up above our friends at Tron 😀 --- Of course we don't want to be seen just to be spamming Twitter. We want to be adding value, providing useful information and... **ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO STEEM**. I'm not a Twitter expert but my personal tactic is to Tweet out various interesting posts I find on Steem that I think will have wider appeal. For example in the past 24 hours I have Tweeted posts from @twokooksonevan about learning Vietnamese, from @johndoer123 about building a lamp from an old laptop, from @galenkp about his new LEGO community, and about @ashtv's video of a new song by Chris Catalyst. **These are all to show the range of posts and people on Steem.** **Normal people talking about normal things.** --- I am trying to be more careful and selective about tagging. Not too much, not too little. Hoping to catch the eye of the wider world.

My favourite Tweet so far was one featuring @grindle's [UrbEx post about his visit to the now derelict Institute for the Deaf and Dumb in Liverpool](https://steemit.com/urbex/@grindle/the-institute-for-the-deaf-and-dumb-liverpool-visited-february-2020). It would be too sad for this fine building to go to ruin so I tagged the local council, the local newspaper and the Merseyside Civic Society. A Liverpool City Councillor liked the tweet and Merseyside Civic Society retweeted it to their 3000 followers. This is not in anyway mega of course, but it is a few more people that may click through to read the post and see the name Steem. **One drip at a time til the Steem waves fill the ocean...** --- For general Steem awareness I am also tweeting out the Steem News each day, as well as alerts for the shows going out out on @msp-waves, @ramblingradio and @vimm. Maybe a few more eyes and a few more ears... --- **So I invite you to join in.** **Tell the Twitterverse what people are doing on Steem - be it posting, vlogging, playing games or building things.** **Tag along and let's see if we can get Steem permanently moving up those Crypto Buzz Tracker hourly rankings.** **Thank you.** --- --- _10% beneficiary set to @offgridlife for alerting me to Crypto Buzz Tracker_ --- --- [ graphics by @pennsif / @offgridlife / @grindle ]
