  • we started with the simplest tool we could get to work. the domain name.
  • with individual websites how can we help people own their own data
  • then we moved onto social media
  • so we post events on our own website
  • I happen to be running this on WordPress
  • KevinMarks comes along, and posts an RSVP on his own website
  • happens to be running Known
  • important part is that he is saying he is going to this event
  • and points to the event web page
  • uses small building blocks
  • key parts here p-rsvp
  • yes I am going to this event
  • and the in-reply-to - links to the event
  • then he needs to notify me
  • uses key building block Webmention
  • uses a POST
  • source is the RSVP, target is the event
  • my site receives that, goes and gets the source, verifies the RSVP
  • he RSVPs to the event, between two websites, no intermediary
  • we feel strongly about meeting people where they already are
  • largely that's in the silos
  • you can see people hae retweeted it
  • commented on google+
  • grid of building blocks
  • some stats
  • if you have a personal website you likely already have microformats and don't know it
  • keep tackling the huge problems
  • we're right there with you
  • at the same time, try thinking small, try thinking incremental, and meet people where they are

Q&A:

Q: are microformats are something you guys designed and invented? or found? what thoughts are into JSON vs HTML?

  • A: microformats existed before IndieWebCamp
  • we chose HTML because it is there
  • milliions billions of websites
  • and with microformats
  • we want to meet people where they are

Q: could you explain relationship between IndieWebCamp technologies and W3C Social Web Working Group?

  • A: we are fortunate that key IWC players are in the SWWG
  • these core building blocks are open standards
  • Webmention, Micropub are working their way through these standards bodies
