Notes
- what do people use bookmarks for?
adactio
- i bookmark for my future self. "oh, I read something about that" and can look it up later
- had used third parties like magnolia, delicious
- current workflow: generally on laptop, has a bookmarklet to create the bookmark
- components of a bookmark: name, url, tags, block quote, own text/commentary
- display: has a whitelist of providers to auto-embed things like flickr galleries
- all bookmarks are public (because everything is public)
- syndicates to @adactiolinks on twitter
Question:
- do links in feed etc go to bookmark target or post about the link (when commentary added). Adactio got feedback that users don't want to click twice
- sends webmentions for bookmarks
- wants to ping web archive to tell them to save a copy
sebastian greger
- wants to share with his readers *why* he's bookmarking something
- posts via a bookmarklet
- has some on twitter https://twitter.com/sebastiangreger with both styles
- syndicated tweet bookmarks include title, author's @-name, commentary, link to original article or link to both (still undecided what is the right format)
- all bookmark posts are private, only some of them are made public and that is when he adds commentary
aaronpk
- posts with screenshot (wkhtmltopdf)
- often posts with pull quotes
- tags on bookmark posts link to a composite feed of all posts on my site tagged X https://aaronparecki.com/tag/indieweb
- also provide a URL like https://aaronparecki.com/bookmarks?tag=indieweb
cweiske
- hosts a semanticscuttle instance on home server, not accessible for the public, http://semanticscuttle.sourceforge.net/
- posting of bookmarks done via xmpp chat (url + hashtags), http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/php-xmpp-bot.htm
- shows screenshots for urls via phancap http://cweiske.de/phancap.htm
- you can try phancap live at http://phancap.cweiske.de/phancap.phar/
bookmark vs read-it-later
- mixed use: some bookmark to read later, others only what they read, others don't care
- common use of tags to indicate whether something is for reading later or read
storing sites vs bookmarking
- external archiving: http://indieweb.org/archival_copy
- idea: could ping archive.org when bookmarking, so a copy is created (remember donation to archive.org)
- www.wallabag.org looks interesting - self hosted open source pocket/instapaper type thing
bookmark vs. like vs. reply
- bookmarks are not necessarily replies, as they are not directed to the original author but to the readers of the person bookmarking
- bookmarks are not always "likes", because one may also publish bookmarks to sites one does not agree with
- see indieweb.org/bookmark -> specific markup and microformats for bookmark posts
alpower
- I don't bookmark indieweb fashion (yet) but use https://pinboard.in/u:alpower as it allows me
- to auto bookmark links in tweets, and retrieve them using tags on the pinboard url.
