very nice. Is this Monocle? I'd love to ian more about your setup.

ever wondered whether it's possible to measure the similarity between sets of ingredients in cocktails so you can conceptualize drinks in a connected graph, in which edges represent substitutions?

no? well, https://beta.observablehq.com/@tmcw/cocktail-similarity

No. They'd have to install the plugin, which demonstrates that the content actually resides elsewhere, outside of Twitter's control.

Another strategy would be to put half of your tweets on Twitter directly, then tweet out that you have another n tweets that people *could* have seen here, but they'll have to install the plugin.

But you're still using Twitter, which (a) helps them and (b) gives your tweeps no extra incentive to leave.

If you made your stuff available only using a browser plugin that added your microposts to people's feeds, it would help make your open protocols go viral.

Pretty pleased I managed to have this entire conversation with @lsanger on Twitter using only my own website and tools! Never had to visit Twitter or use any Twitter apps! Our #indieweb tools have come a long way! #ownyourdata
