It is the bit about "better connected" that needs work. For example, from my Known account, I can reply to a tweet, without posting the tweet directly myself. That way, when Twitter dies, I'll still have a copy of my tweets. A trivial example, I know.

No, I'm not competent to do that. That's one reason I have been playing around with Known. Eventually, it might be interesting (for Jason, or a collaborator) to thing about implementing some aspects of IndieWeb and POSSE.

What's stopping you?

Uh-oh. 10C failing to pick up image orientation.

Have you looked into the requirements of IndieWeb? There is quite a lot going on behind the scenes, with security certificates, endpoints, things I don't really understand, that enable your site to be able to respond to things happening on other sites, and for them to know about it. The instructions are good, but I didn't feel up to working through it all, especially setting up the hot server.

That would be one example, but also more generally. I use Known because it relieved me of the duty to make it work myself, but there's more to it than that.

Good to see you. What I'd really like, obviously, is for someone to figure out how to make these here blurbs play nicely with IndieWeb mentions.

Surfacing here for a brief instant. For some reason, I seem to need apps to do social more effectively. I have a habit of shutting down all the tabs in my browser when I think I've finished something, and then I'm way too lazy to open this place again when I have something to get off my chest.

I'd like to be here more often, but I honestly don't have anything to say here yet that I can't say to better effect elsewhere. Classic example of the network effect.

Also, I tend not to think in terms of the browser for conversations.
