Then as the world turned to social media k12 teachers tried to recreate the experience in whatever blogging platform they could get approved. For me it was a school website CMS. I had to fight for every gig but had great support as well.

So why the #IndieWeb web community looks at 2004 as the beginning of the end for us it was more a new beginning. We could get kids online in a way parents would allow. This was a game changer.

Started the day suggesting Pie in the Sky Thinking is a waste. Glad I get to end the day proving myself wrong. You can't build the future thinking about what is only possible today.

How would this work with credibility? , You are a group of conservative journalists fed up with the lamestream media. Develop minimum set of credentials. Journalists can apply to the ring, get vetted. They get your seal of approval (webmention badge) #IndieWeb

You then include a community-based search engine that is opt-in through IndieAuth, user gets to decide what content gets crawled, only available to others in the ring, you then add the micropub and microsub chat client (member only). #IndieWeb

People laugh at me when I offer webrings as a solution to #credweb identity and credibility but think about it. You have a small community empowered by a strong code of conduct. Community ownership through vouch as to who gets let into the ring. #IndieWeb

With #IndieWeb work being done on private and semi-private posting using tokens generated through IndieAuth we can take back the web. Don't even store the data. Let chat be ephemeral...it has work for, let's see....all of human history.

Getting closer to #IndieWeb I want. Believe if we had webrings that also had an embeddable chat that was a micropub client and connected to a websub enabled Microsub server we could make instantaneous chat. Design a widget that includes chat and webring members

Yes! This! https://twitter.com/amoration/status/1075083758401925124 #Indieweb will succeed bc we aren't trying to build facebook replacement. Instead values of plurality and protections against monoculture mean we want to empower you to #BeYourOwnSocialNetwork. Let the web be the glue.
