conversation starter
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
If someone wants to start a public conversation with someone else then the first person has to target the other through eg. a Homepage Webmention.
On eg. Twitter one typically creates a new tweet that mimics that of a reply by starting with "@username", but which isn't actually a reply to a specific post by that user. See eg: https://twitter.com/voxpelli/status/581565794749964288
