Hey Aaron I haven't read Ian's piece yet but I can guess where it's going. It's the same place you have been traveling with us. You know the destination..just over the horizon, to the left when you look right and yonder over right when you glance left. Cathie rocks. Her call for the mindset first made me rethink how onboarding works. Do you plan for the pers

@wiobyrne I am planning on doing the same. Currently I have been using @withKnown as my #indieweb engine. I was going to set up a two week WordPress experiment a la @ChisAldrich but then remembered it is finals week, I had to coach three baseball games and go to a communion. Didn't happen. Still if you want to do a user interview I am collecting interviews b

@wiobyrne Also remember Bridgy for Facebook is shutting down in August. Facebook is taking away access to their write API. Only way to share to facebook is use their social share buttons. You may not be able to shape your use of facebook in ways that also represent your philosophy. I deactivated. I did not quit. I know I have to turn it back on....grrrrrr...

@wiobyrne This is all going through @withknown. I haven't been posting natively to Twitter for some time. Syndication IMO works better using @withknown than WordPress IMO. Only reason I want to experiment with WordPress #indieweb is to get more post-kinds and build feeds for different post-kinds. I am still running Derybshire. I ned to update @withknown from

Yes and this is being sent from the Indigenous app to @withknown using Micropub, an #indieweb tech baked into the tools we use. If you have the plugins installed you should be able to POSSE to Twitter (not Facebook soon) but I think @chrisaldrich uses a plug in called SNAP and not bridgy, webmentions, and semantic linkback (all plug ins included in the indie

@anildash @kevinmarks At same time I think we need to recognize the world wants an image driven web. While I agree html/css should be backbone of any social media service we need to create pathways to oboard people to the web through images and videos. I also think machine learning is going to make images and video more readable. So how could it work? How ca

@kevinmarks @anildash Ahhh SVG, we finally figured a way to turn those pesky images into code (joking I get the lightweight low resource benefits) I jest because I do believe the semantic focus you bring Kevin is part of the DNA of the web as people have had this debate since the first browser. In terms of the silos I am hoping web responsive apps do win out

Hey #CTCASLCHAT let's model what it means to own our web presence

CT librarians serve on the front lines of the efforts to teach students to own their data. If you are already a WordPress blogger but want to learn more about taking control of the content you own by deciding where to share I encourage you to check out #indieweb. I am currently recruiting participants to do a "think aloud" as you install #indieweb WordPress

@cathieleblanc What an amazing post and you give me way too much credit. I couldn't do it with out the great minds behind #indieweb. I am thinking more and more about the social web of academia and how we have a responsibility to protect the Commons and the open web. Since you just got started maybe you could help us out. I am trying to collect user stories
