# 00:22 tantek hmm, first half was about imeem, second half was sort of about app.net - still don't get it. # 00:23 dpk it's a Svbtle blog … not really indieweb, heh # 00:24 tantek dpk, is svbtle.com like tumblr.com in that respect? # 00:24 aaronpk dpk: where it's hosted doesn't/shouldn't matter. as long as it's possible to move to a new host quickly that's fine # 00:24 dpk well, i'm not sure what export options Svtle provides # 00:24 tantek aaronpk - except there's a difference between a generic web host, and a content/blog host. # 00:24 dpk Svbtle is like a private members' club version of WordPress.com # 00:25 aaronpk yes, but I wouldn't discredit things like tumblr/svbtle/wordpress.com so quickly # 00:25 aaronpk i think they need to improve the data portability aspect a lot, but it's a step in the right direction # 00:25 dpk right. marco moved from tumblr to his own weblog engine pretty easily # 00:25 tantek aaronpk - switching is potentially harder with blog hosts # 00:26 dpk tumblr is not too bad, they have the API which you can use to pull all your data out … WordPress.com i assume has the same export feature as the open-source wordpress # 00:26 aaronpk i'd like to see the user-friendly "hosts" like wordpress.com/tumblr/svbtle be more interchangable # 00:27 aaronpk because as dalton points out, "going indie isn't for everyone" right now # 00:30 tantek "we provide benefits that aren’t usually associated with blogging, like **copyediting**, to all members, for free." **emphasis** mine # 00:30 dpk not sure what Svbtle's export options are like. i expect it's something along the lines of "mail us and we'll send you a SQL dump" or something like that # 00:30 tantek there are no ads, so is it free? or some minor premium model? # 00:30 dpk i would be surprised if it was premium, given that it's also invitation-only # 00:31 tantek aaronpk, we're changing that, one person at a time # 00:31 aaronpk p.s. caseorganic's new site is going live right now elf-pavlik joined the channel
# 00:33 tantek just to provide a citation for that slogan ;) # 00:33 tantek it worked for Apple, it can work for the #indieweb. # 00:34 dpk choxelles at a website about owning your data (indiewebcamp.com) using instagram-hosted photos on its front page … # 00:34 tommorris copyediting-as-a-service? I do think some kind of suggest edits feature would be useful # 00:35 tantek tommorris - and I always thought "copyediting-as-a-service" was just "wiki" :) bnvk, lmorchard and andreypopp joined the channel
