## Shongololo Social Media Trail

In Africa, millipedes are affectionately known as “shongololos”,  Xhosa and Zulu ukushonga (“to roll up”). Why on earth would I relate a shongololo to blogging and social media? 

Let me explain the millipede has hundreds of legs connecting along the body, each performs the duty of carrying some of the weight, exactly the same as we do everyday with assisting each other in all our favourite communities @qurator @steemitbloggers AKA #PowerHouseCreatives @kryptonia @steembasicincome wherever you decided to connect and share.

Like the Shongololo when in danger they roll up a defense mechanism, partly similar communities form tight circles embracing each other to protect as best we are able each others interests as happened in a recent poll, yes many of us (as in the legs) on a body aiming to achieve results together.

Twisting and turning to suite the occasion, getting to where we need to be. Moving slowly, precisely in a direction. Members encourage each other onward each needing something in return, never join a community if you not willing to live by the rules, play your part.

How does this form into one body, each writes content sharing to social media sites, _resteeming_ onto the next sharing knowledge in a variety of formats, each one performing in unison with the next to keep momentum going. Connecting a variety of platforms making it easier to reach the destination _(more eyes)_.

In summary by joining a community in Steemit you will be able to share far and wide to Facebook, Twitter platforms. Another suggestion is to open an account with @kryptonia where you will be able to pay for your content to be shared to sites you decide where for clicks on a penny.

Many changes are imminent, try to keep up with two or three communities, avoid burnout which happens quickly if you join in to too many. People are working together, platforms are only the tools being used, get to enjoy and know many new people, help them to grow every day along with you in blockchain communities.

Millipedes down here grow to 30 cm long, winding along like a train _(of which that is a nickname used as well for a train)_, each leg performs an resulting action, programming, moderating or starting communities, bloggers, photographers, teachers, each performing to their best in what they trained to do.

Thought for Today: **If South Africa decideed to have a national insect, it would probably be a Shongololo. - Sounding out the word "Shon-go-lolo _or_ shawng-ga-law-law" it roles off the tongue very smoothly.**
