@Shoq @KevinMarks @t http://withknown.com is an out-of-the-box platform. There's also good Wordpress support with some plugins! #indieweb

@davewiner oh okay. I saw "Each item has a headline, short description, a link to the story" which implied blog post to me. (from http://scripting.com/2014/06/02/whatIsARiverOfNewsAggregator.html)

@davewiner @kylewm2 That's awesome. But why limit to blog posts? Why not also include the short title-less updates people post on their sites? e.g. https://kylewm.com http://tantek.com my site, and many others.

The wordpress plugin will need to be able to accept an access token in the HTTP header and verify it. The short path to implement this is to use the token endpoint I run at https://tokens.indieauth.com, that way you can just avoid all token management for now, and add that in to the plugin later.

@davewiner @kylewm2 That's awesome, like a Planet but without the full text? Makes it much easier to read!

We're working on it! http://indiewebcamp.com

@davidmead ahh that makes sense! I was wondering how that could happen. Issue filed, thanks! https://github.com/aaronpk/p3k/issues/84

@davidmead It looks like you're sending https for the target but your site links to my http URL. I should probably fix this to accept it regardless of the mismatch, but that's the reason.

@davidmead Great work! It sounds like you should send a pull request for your changes to the Known plugin! I bet many others would benefit from the changes too! #indieweb

Is it just me or is the author using the term "Uncanny Valley" completely wrong? Ignoring the silly Pixar story, I still don't understand how voice recognition (or more accurately, speech recognition) is currently in the uncanny valley.

You know when your GPS says "recalculating" in a condescending voice? That's the uncanny valley of text-to-speech.

@holman @oscargodson I haven't actually heard of the term being used like that. I've only heard it in this context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

@holman @oscargodson

@holman It's from a 1970 paper by a Japanese roboticist http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/an-uncanny-mind-masahiro-mori-on-the-uncanny-valley http://web.archive.org/web/20110313073609/http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20110310jk.html
