Slash pages are common pages you can add to your website, usually with a standard, root-level slug like
/now,/about, or/uses. They tend to describe the individual behind the site and are distinguishing characteristics of the IndieWeb.
Nice overview by Robb (see also my post about EchoFeed, his latest project). I definitely need more slash pages over here!
The platform era is ending. Rather than build new Twitters and Facebooks, we can create a stuff-posting system that works better for everybody.
David Pierce im Vergecast im Gespräch mit Matt Mullenweg, Cory Doctorow und Manton Reese über alternative Methoden des Content-Postings, namentlich POSSE („Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere“) und PESOS („Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site“).
It’s a small, „easy to host“ web app that contains almost everything you need to host your own personal „instance“ of a federated ActivityPub server. Your shuttlecraft hosts your social media identity, along with the tools to post, follow, and interact with other people on any other compatible service like Mastodon, GoToSocial, and others.
Ben Brown is building a single-user „instance“, which is relatively easy to host with Node.js.
That’s exactly the kind of software the Fediverse is missing, I think and said already: Make it as easy as WordPress to install a single-user Fediverse agent and (tech-savvy) people who don’t want to depend on an unknown Mastodon instance admin will start doing it.

Tolles Projekt von Andreas Gohr, das aus einer Datenbank von privaten Blogs zufällige Beiträge empfiehlt. Entweder per Button auf der Website, Direktlink (/random) oder – was ich gerade abonniert habe – per RSS-Feed, wobei unterschiedliche Frequenzen (täglich/wöchentlich) und die Anzahl der Blogposts gewählt werden können.

Brian Hendrickson has a point:
When small social networks like Twitter and Google Plus start to interoperate with open source networks and blogs, they could eventually form a large enough base of users to “flip the iceberg” and have more usage than the dominant, non-interoperable player: Facebook.
I don’t know if it will be any of these services, but I’m sure this will happen sometime in the near future. The W3C is actively pushing new standards like Webmention and Micropub to boost a more interoperable, „social network-like“ open web. My guess is that Google will be on there forefront of this movement, because they’re intrinsically interested in indexable and searchable content (and meta data), while Facebook keeps building walled gardens.
When this shift happens, Twitter will be an attractive takeover target again. And the day users are able to tweet to people outside of Twitter will be the first day of the end of the Facebook as we know it.
Als aufmerksamer Hörer von Core Intuition verfolge ich schon seit einigen Monaten die Arbeit an Micro.blog, einem neuen Microblogging-Service von Manton Reece. Nun hat Manton, der hier kein weiteres Silo schaffen will, sondern die Prinzipien von Open Web und Indieweb aufgreift, eine Kickstarter-Kampagne zur Finanzierung des Dienstes und eines begleitenden eBooks gestartet. Selbstredend habe ich bereits meine paar Dollars eingeworfen – und ihr solltet es mir gleich tun. 😌
Update, 09.03.2022: Das eBook ist nun auch online verfügbar.
If it’s not curlable, it’s not on the web.

Really enjoyed the last two days at the IndieWebCamp in Düsseldorf. Thanks to Jeremy, Aaron and Tantek for hosting it. Thanks to the sponsors and especially Sipgate for providing a great venue and even better food. 😉
I learned a lot about interesting technologies, tried some of them on my own and had some great discussions, especially about the personal website vs. professional website thing some of us are experiencing and thinking about right know.
I’m looking forward to incorporate even more IndieWeb features and techniques into this site, encourage you to do the same and join a IndieWebCamp near you. 😌
I’m at the IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf right now, just learned about Webmentions and want to give the Webmentions-WordPress-Plugin by pfefferle a try with Webmention.rocks, Aaron’s helpful validator for sending Webmentions. (mehr …)
