@Glittersnark Glad to see they still feed you. #edtechchat
Greg McVerryStarted 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.

Greg McVerryPeople 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
Greg McVerrySo 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.
Greg McVerryYes! 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.
Greg McVerry@ajpodchaski Getting started on 2020..as soon as I finish I am sure I will want to redo it all. #newwwyear challenge an #IndieWeb end of year to finish stuff on your site before 1/1/2019 we are doing 24 gifts as well (build for others) https://indieweb.org/2018-12-indieweb-challenge
Greg McVerry#edtechchat le't not think of knowledge in terms of who but rather in terms of where https://twitter.com/jgmac1106/status/1074839135083474945
Greg McVerry@ajpodchaski I did see @eddiehinkle organizing an @IndieWebCamp-Online (history note @t an #indieweb founder also started barcamps..which as we know became #edcamps) I think all of us #edtechchat folks should go. Hit me up for deets Our model of teaching is in Our DNA
Greg McVerry@potch thanks for all you did for @Mozilla over the last eight years. While our paths didn't cross often I know the Moz Reps respected your leadership...Cool blog on @glitch mine is there too temporarily,...unless I build all the parts and just stay
Greg McVerry@Rdene915 I just figured too close to the holidays #edtechchat
Greg McVerrySo today @mozilla and @mozlearn have announced the sunsetting of #Thimble, this is the last of the webmaker properties to go extinct. The #teachtheweb era comes to a close and a new future dawns. h/t to all those involved in hackasaurus, webmaker, and whatever the hell we ever decided the name was before the entire project got shuttered.
Greg McVerryThe real answer should never be a company. The best of the web is built by the web and of the web. Focus more on community over code. Only deal with #ethicaltech and #humanetech If you need to use a company make sure they are committed to open standards #edtechchat #indieweb
Greg McVerry@brandenlsen was was created and first deployed at Sun microsystemand they kept the space theme going.
Greg McVerryThis is exactly what I want an HTML output of citations I can use when publishing for the web and not the constraints of PDF academia forces on us.....Just have no idea how write in React....just need to stick in some HTML classes.
Greg McVerryI do want to thank @anildash @megatronn5 and the entire @glitch team for helping with the transition from @mozilla thimble. When you build technology on open standards portability isn't a concern. And when values of open support a community the world grows.
Greg McVerryWith #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.
Greg McVerryYou 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
Greg McVerry@juanblanco76 yeahhh that's it use time and VC funds to promote a company that hires PR firms to spread antisemitic memes and allows third parties to use the platform for minority voter suppression. We need real businesses with real values. Building your wealth on facebook properties is amoral
Greg McVerry@holden Fantastic Measurement System Issue #33 I think. He was 19.
