sad to see that the new @w3c "Webmention" ignores @theiana #RFC 5988 registry for link relations on the web. time to sort this out, fellas.

@dret We were following the lead of the HTML5 spec in referencing the microformats rel registry.

Results from 6 Months of Expiring Webmention Endpoints

Since all of my recent spam has been sent to non-expired endpoints, and since I don't get a high number of webmentions right now, I decided to remove the expiring endpoints from my site for the time being.

An interesting experiment of generating Vouch URLs based on Hashcash proof-of-work. I'm posting this note so that http://hash-for-vouch.herokuapp.com can be used as a Vouch URL when sending webmentions to my site.

What about hashcash for webmention spam (not Vouch)? Pass time_t & nonce, where sha256(target+time+nonce).startswith("000000") /cc @aaronpk

@sil There's been some discussion about that on the webmention page: http://indiewebcamp.com/Webmention#proof-of-work_addition_to_webmention_to_help_avoid_spam

Enabling Webmentions (www.kryogenix.org)

So, 12 years ago, I invented Pingback. Sorry. Pingback uses XMLRPC because that was the cool thing at the time and because I was young and foolish and had a peanut for a brain. Ian Hickson took my vague spec and kicked it in the arse to make it a proper spec, and it got adopted really quickly. Back then, when the world was young, everything got adopted really quickly; there was so much new ground to be broken that coming up with a reasonable way to do something (permalinks, RSS autodiscovery, pingbacks) meant that it got picked up by everybody.

@adamprocter @AaronGustafson I need to hat up a bit on webmentions first, mind, especially since I must do penance for inventing pingback ;)

@sil haha! Webmention is just pingback w/o XMLRPC. You might be interested in Vouch tho: http://indiewebcamp.com/vouch

@adactio the front page of the webmention.io website.

@melaniersumner @adactio webmention.io is a hosted service that you can use to accept webmentions for your site without writing any code. It happens to also accept pingbacks if you want. If you don't want, then don't add the pingback tag! :-)

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.

Thanks to @snarfed_org, http://brid.gy is now sending retweets, which prompted me to improve the #webmention handling in #p3k.

Now showing proper repost and rsvp counts on posts! Examples:
