All the credit really goes to Ryan Barrett and the huge open source crowd in the #IndieWeb who provide a truly magic tech layer for adding onto the #DoOO and #EdTech space. If you haven't tried it, step on in and say hello! 👋

Oh goody, yet another silo! Though this time from the founder of Wikipedia who seems to want to make a difference in the broader ecosystem. Perhaps he'll fashion in a way so as to be IndieWeb friendly? Signing up to take a peek...
Replied to You don’t need Facebook News to keep up with news by Paul JacobsonPaul Jacobson (Paul Jacobson)
Facebook News (or, rather, a Facebook News tab), is rolling out in the USA, and there are valid concerns about this already, for various reasons. Whether you’re in the USA, or not, you don’t need (and may not want to rely on) Facebook News to keep up with the news. Instead, there is a tried, tested, and widely available alternative that you can configure to suit your preferences right now: feed readers.
Oh how I would give my left hand to have Microsub server technology built into WordPress.com's pretty feed reader. Something akin to what the Yarns plugin is doing, perhaps? It would be great to have a beautiful feed reader either closely or directly integrated into my WordPress experience.

Read Why You Should Have a Website by James Gallagher James Gallagher (James Gallagher)

One of the main pieces of advice I have for people looking to accelerate their career is to start a personal website. I especially recommend starting a personal website to young and ambitious people who are just getting started.

Many pieces of advice around starting a personal website are incorrect. You don’t have to be a founder, a writer, or a brand to reap the rewards from having a personal website. You also don’t need to code your website yourself, or build some elaborate site with dozens of detailed pages. You just need to have a website that showcases your skills.

Great broad overview for why IndieWeb.

“@jgmac1106 We don't yet have #IndieWeb meetups but we should! @mburtis @actualham @PSUOpenCoLab”
Perhaps you might borrow the set up of Homebrew Website Club so you don't have to reinvent the wheel? You can always change the name to something like DoOO or Domains Meetup, but it would give you a place to start. Like Greg indicated I'm happy to help remotely as well.

Read On planets and reading lists by Malcolm BlaneyMalcolm Blaney (unicyclic.com)

This is going to be a long one, so the short version is summed up in this screenshot:
screen shot of a page that reads This is a planet that follows members of the IndieWeb community. Anyone can join, all you need to do is send a webmention from a follow post to this page, and it will follow you back!

That's from the top of this page: unicyclic.com/indieweb, which is a feed combined from different sources, commonly referred to as a planet. Up until now I've been adding new feeds to that page as people join th...

This may be the first time I've heard this, though it's possible that Kicks Condor or Bran Enslen has mentioned something along these lines: the year of the indieweb directory  ❧

Social Reading User Interface for Discovery

I read quite a bit of material online. I save "bookmarks" of all of it on my personal website, sometimes with some additional notes and sometimes even with more explicit annotations. One of the things I feel like I'm missing from my browser, browser extensions, and/or social feed reader is a social layer overlay that…

I 💜 @macgenie and had the pleasure of sitting next to her @IndieWebSummit last year! Matthias Pfefferle (aka @pfefferle or same handle on m.b.) is one of my favorite IndieWeb resources and his German is far better than mine.   If you can give your micro.blog account an RSS, JSON, or other feed for your site, then…
