Notes

- most examples for finding people/things are centralized: yellow pages, facebook, etc

Last.fm - cross referencing of people who like specific bands/albums/etc. - if you have login, and visit a profile page on last.fm it'll give you a "compatibility" % based on your listenings Taste"buds" -> https://tastebuds.fm/

Bring back the blogroll

> limitation on blogroll - need categorization? 
> blend profiles (with additional info like "likes") with blogroll?

Peter's handcrafted, categorized, commented, XSLT styled OPML: https://petermolnar.net/subscriptions.opml ^^^ David Shanske ain' nobody got time for that

2 needs: find interesting people to follow / read their content, and make new connections

https://indieweb.org/Search_My_Site - opt in search

• notes on superfeedr: https://superfeedr.com/ - powerful unified Feed API simplifies how you handle RSS, Atom, or JSON feeds.
• https://clmoocring.jgregorymcverry.com/
• micro.blog and emoji discovery
  • sports
  • hobbies
  • post-types

https://www.wired.com/story/to-mend-a-broken-internet-create-online-parks/ online public parks as a potential "place" to meet people

(a wild Template:KevinMarks appears)

- local might work, global will invoke spam - local as in:

   - community: needs gatekeepers
   - topic: might work
   - physical proximity? (see BBS)

Greg McVerry "maybe discovery should be hard to tackle the problems?"
