The single greatest thing about the social web is how it has forced people to overcome their technophobias in order to connect with other humans.

Those last two notes posted using latest Web Action Hero Toolbelt, now with select-to-quote UI #webactions #indieweb #quoting
If content is important to you, keep it close. If your content is important to others, keep it close and well backed up.

That excellent post of Tantek Çelik’s, like all well–hyperlinked documents, lead me to a whole raft of great #indieweb resources I hadn’t come across before:
(In other news: I need to make a “dump tabs into new note dialog” browser #extension)
“I am not a number, I am my domain name”
— Tantek Çelik eloquently summarises #indieweb thinking in On Silos vs an Open Social Web #bookmark
I really can't stress just how brilliant the identengine.com API is. Solves so many problems, implements so many standards, but more importantly: it is truly, truly webby. Forming a graph of a persons profiles by following rel links, then accumulating all that info is a vital building block. Great work Glenn Jones! #indieweb #web
This evening’s #indieweb project: quoting UIs. Why they suck or for some reason do not exist, research into existing ones (found a nice github example) and silo equivalents.
So, which is more annoying, POSSE permalinks w/ … if continued, in () if not, or Aral Balkan’s …tweet…continued…thing…? For comparison:
Personally I find the …/() permalink/shortlink/short id pattern to be much more readable, especially when there are multiple long tweets happening at the same time, and they are mainly one or two words over Twitter’s limit. But it is more cluttered than the … technique.
I did a #webaction #toolbelt video:
We have a #webactions Hero Toolbelt config UI!
Now onto the actual meat. Most of this was already implemented in my fork of #indieweb reply, I just have to tidy it up and add in the <action>
shim.
Tom Morris tigerchops twitter is just temporary infrastructure for social BC ;) #indieweb
.haschek’s #indieweb site is nice: http://michael.haschke.biz/
.Laura Kalbag “on your own space” is important but not a prerequisite of #indieweb (IMO at least). The domain name is the most important thing, so starting with hosted wordpress.com or tumblr or even just redirecting to it is valid and an easy first step.
I’d encourage you to check out the Getting Started Guide — feedback/edits gratefully accepted, it’s important to me that the guide is as helpful and clear as it can be.
Laura Kalbag would you agree that wordpress.com (and to a lesser extent, other wordpress services) is non-techie-friendly? It supports most of the infrastructure we’re using on our #indieweb sites (e.g. pubsubhubbub, pingback, microformats) and provided you hook up your own domain name is an equally valid way of owning your content/identity online as rolling your own.
Laura Kalbag no, no, no, the #indieweb web is the future :) Not any one silo.
Diaspora Export: Quickly generate a JSON file of all your public #diaspora posts #indieweb #ownyourcontent
Can any other #diaspora users (or fellow former users) verify that, on exporting your content (Settings -> Download XML) posts are NOT included.
I have User, Aspects, Contacts and People, but the Posts element is empty (<posts />

branch that’s great to hear, but it’s not my primary concern and not the reason I don’t want to use branch. My concern is that I don’t really want to be hosting my thoughts and/or identity in a place I don’t control.
Most of the time I would post the content here and duplicate it on the 3rd party site, linking back. In this specific case, being asked to log in with twitter purely for the privilege of asking to be part of a conversation was off-putting enough for me not to bother.
Twitter’s typeahead.js looks like a great base for #indieweb #autosuggest — it certainly has better UX than my current technique #bookmark #js
