    When you tag someone in a post or photo on Facebook, that post also appears on that person's profile page. What is the equivalent for the #indieweb?

    If someone sends a webmention to my home page, that is a way of tagging me in things. I may want to share this mention in my main home page feed (analogous to allowing peoples' Facebook posts to be shown on your Facebook timeline). In that case it's similar to a http://indiewebcamp.com/repost of the external content.

    I would imagine this would look like a native post on my site but where the author is not me. Since I am not including third-person language anywhere on my site, I would just show the post without Twitter's "retweeted by ___" text. I may include an corner icon indicating it's a repost like how Twitter used to do it.

    Facebook will by default allow friends' posts that tag you to show up on your timeline, and they give a way to hide the post from your timeline after the fact. I imagine people have strong feelings on whether they want this to happen automatically. Probably for the initial version I would make this require moderation, so if someone tagged me I would get a notification and an option to share on my home page.

    Apple is clearly up to more than they revealed with HomeKit in iOS 8 today. An iPhone can't control your home lights if you're away from home without some sort of connection.

    If Apple adds HomeKit support to iCloud, then your phone would have a backend to talk to.

    The next step would be getting some device to sit in your house to send the raw messages to all the devices. Maybe this will be built into the next Airports, or could be launched as a separate device. This device would be able to use the iCloud connection.

    When you're away from home you could tell your phone to turn off the lights, it would send a message via iCloud which would be picked up by the base station at home.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards 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. (detailed bio)

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.
