# Suggestion: Adding Nearby Friends 
#  Feature in eSteem application.

ESteem is one of the Steemit connection applications supported by the best features that are racked by good-karma. To support upvote in eSteem application requires support from the people support we do in the form of invite friends to help upvote posting.

But in this case to obtain the support required a feature that can establish communication with both maximally.

Problems.
Steemit users do not know where the people  are.

The people  do not know whether there is a stemian around them.

To establish good communication, the people  are still unsure of other people 
 existence, because their position is really the actual location or not when communication continues.

Suggestion.
So in this post I suggest that eSteem creates a Nearby Friends feature.

Benefits.
a. The people  can find out who are friends who use Steemit accounts around them. Let's say an @apalagak account will know the @apareuloh account is around itself at a certain distance.

b. Can bring together the Steemians who previously did not know each other. Suppose my @aku account will meet with an @dia account on an area, and they have not known each other in principle. With this feature they can both communicate together.

c. Establish communication with the surrounding people. 

d. Know each other in real time.

e. Can trace the position of the real. 

Here is an example of the Recommended Friends Add Nearby Feature.

a. Open your ESteem Application

Note:
Suggested addions The Nearby Friends feature must connect with Google Maps to enable the presence of an actual person.

Conclusion.

The Nearby Friends feature of the eSteem Application is a feature to know who the users of Steemit account are around us, with close proximity.

Thus my suggestion for eSteem, may be considered in order to support the contribution of other people  to the application initiated by good-karma.
