IndieWeb for business



 IndieWeb for business  is the use of an indieweb site or section thereof for business purposes, to post professional products or services, announcements, reminders, and generally interact with business clients, instead of social media silo posts and pages.

 * A Glass blower. Kevo Marks up his gallery in h-product and uses a jQuery plugin that parses HTML data for third-party store). Kevo also uses [[Known] as a company blog and syndicates all his artwork from Instagram using OwnYourGram.

Reviews

 * A traditional e-commerce website with webmention capability could accept reviews from sites on particular product pages and display them not as traditional comments (or replies) but in a product "Review" section. Since webmentions are bi-directional reviews could be more thoroughly audited and provide much more than the simple identities that are given on traditional e-commerce sites currently.


 * One might use acquisition posts and webmentions to cross link products on websites to create "Verified Purchase" statuses for more reliable reviews.
