  • Day 92: Indicating the Audience of Posts #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    March 22, 2017

    Sometimes, I've posted content to my website that is directed at a specific group, such as a mailing list or an IRC channel. When viewed on my website, these posts end up looking out of context.

    Today I added a new property to my posts to indicate the context in which I posted the message, and I indicate it in the top of the post where the reply context lives.

    Here's an example of my latest post that I sent to a mailing list. It is now much more obvious that this post is not directed at the general audience of my website, but instead is directed at a different audience.

    I've chosen to store this in a new Microformats2 property in my posts called "audience", the value is an h-card describing the audience of the post.

    Here's a post from last year when I originally pointed out the problem with not showing the context of the post. I've updated the post to indicate the audience it was sent to.

      Audience is an interesting term. This is what I call the “public” of the post as per j.mp/publics #indieweb

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Senior Security Architect at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming and dabble in product design.

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
