Loqierinjo: barnabywalters left you a message on 3/3 at 10:39am: as someone who's done web action UI brainstorming, I'd be really grateful for feedback for this: https://github.com/barnabywalters/web-action-hero-toolbelt — the actual button UI is fairly awful but the structure is in place
eschnou, morrocco_mole, scor, zztr, erinjo, bnvk, friedcell, tantek, tilgovi, danbri, barnabywalters and jfranusic joined the channel
tommorristantek, barnabywalters: I've just added linked "interests" to my biography. tagging one's interests could be the starting point for people discovery
tommorrisbarnabywalters: GetGlue basically has checkin (i.e. "I am currently consuming this media [watching this TV show/listening to this album/thinking about this topic]" and like.
barnabywaltersI’m wondering just how relevant "re[tweet/blog/post]" is in a non-silo context. At a technical level it’s just storing a reference to the original content (side note: possible shady implications if the OP can then edit that content?), on a UI level duplicating the content
aaronpki've seen a bunch of blog posts which are basically one or two paragraphs copied from something else with maybe a line of original text at the bottom
barnabywaltersI figured if people took <intent> seriously when there was only a barely functional demo, people might take <action> seriously as I’ve made an extension which is useful right away
aaronpki have an "indexing" script that runs through all my .md files looking for tags and builds up an index. the result is a yaml file with a list of tags and each tag has a list of pages with that tag.
aaronpki may add a DB later, but it will be so I get the tools they provide like indexing or geospatial stuff. it will never have the master copy of my content, it will just be shadow copies
barnabywaltersthat’s a really good plan. I’m compensating by working the other way round, and providing ways of getting at my content in loads of different formats (soon: creating content from all the formats, simplifying PESOS and data migration) — so not as pure a flow but adequate
tantektommorris - I don't believe in "interests" or "foaf:interest" because (like things in foaf) it's just made-up and has no substantiating research behind it.
tantekor again, you know the drill, if you have real world examples of sites publishing "interests" for a person: microformats.org/wiki/interests-examples
tantekthis is pure gold: barnabywalters: "I figured if people took <intent> seriously when there was only a barely functional demo, people might take <action> seriously as I’ve made an extension which is useful right away"
tantekso it makes sense to include easy UI for them to do so, from your own site (instead of making them click on the "copy of this post on twitter" link first)
tommorriswell, adding the interests thing was just done because I had some things that were links, and felt "well, if I'm adding discrete interest blobs, that might be something useful someone may wish to aggregate for finding people later"
tantektommorris, though a list, that bit on my site that says "Hello" is also an intro summary / paragraph written in prose, and thus is more likely to be up to date / accurate than a big random list of crap.
tommorrisso, my use case for this kind of thing is to try and build a little site that aggregates the "indiesphere" (by which I mean bloggers/web publishers who are trying to push the medium forward)
tommorrisbasically, building a little mini personal Technorati type service for finding sites that are interesting. to hopefully ease the chicken-and-egg issues we face
tommorrisI had a look at Aaron, Tantek, Adactio, Barnaby and myself, and we all seemed to have gotten name sorted, and broad location, and a few rel-me links
tommorristhen I was looking at Facebook Graph Search and seeing the sort of things people use to sort people in their social network - http://imgur.com/d4LT6zB
tommorrisgender, relationship, employer, current city, hometown, school and friendship (i.e. whether you are friends with them, friend of a friend etc.)
tommorrisalso, danbri, I worked out a magnificent way of trolling someone using LinkedIn endorsements. they have to approve every endorsement you give them... so you only endorse people you don't like with really shitty skills like "Microsoft Excel".
tommorristhe other thing I'd love to publish in a structured way is dietary preferences. I'd love to be able to say "I'm inviting these 15 people out for dinner, what proportion are vegetarian or vegan or have some other funky dietary preference?"

@ehafen @SwissGator enjoy @rock_health event in SF #ownyourdata @DatenundGesundh
barnabywalters tommorris: oh cool! I’ve done similar visible-metadata tagging (with p-category of course) on my profile page
aaronpk does your site have a database that lets you do this page? http://waterpigs.co.uk/tags/ui
