"Build stuff which kills your own Facebook usage before trying to kill Facebook" http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/1480/ #indieweb

Hello I have just 'Aquainted' myself with you as I see you play Accordian and I have just bought a small seond hand one , with no idea how to play it. Also I am not sure how to use this site or where my real friends are on here so I'm kinda wandering about a large house calling 'Hello' :-)

What's brdcst? I'm subscribing directly to my identity on diaspora. No extra service should be required.

you using brdcst?

I've same problem with my tumblr account

Yeah, but you can (sort of) follow diaspora users from identica and status net. Problem is all the posts come out in the wrong order!

identi.ca? This is Diaspora*, no?

@jake the intention is not to replace social networks but to create a publishing hub, which D* is not. You can post whatever you want to WP, but you're right that it's not an ideal solution. It's the solution that is easiest for non techies to do. I, for example, am working on a serious publishing hub with deep integration with other networks. Check out social igniter — that's well developed indieweb software, unlike mine which was started last week ;)

IMO the fact that D* imitates Internet structure is the worst bit about it currently. The web is already a federated network, and indieweb makes it more social without imitating it or building a limited version.

@aatu a pistopod is a pod running@pistos' version of the D* software. It has lots of enhancements, such as the API I need to post to D* from my publishing hub.

what's a pistopod?

Still doesn' t replace Diaspora. I have a Wordpress account but use it for writing I have thought out more than these type of posts. More like essays. This is a lighter less serious medium, and not sure how you would integrate it into a blog, unless using the blog as a public journal. You are right though a domain gives bragging rights! If I didn' t have an insanely low bandwith cap where I live then I would be running a pod. the great thing about diaspora is it mimicks the inrfrastructure of the internet and merges the best ideas of FB and Twitter. With an easier install it really can take off.

So it does :) I'm usually quick to spot that kind of thing, but I didn't here. I wonder why?

Wait. That looks like a ....

Which incidentally, wins you "Quote of the Day"!
