What is Ten Days of Twitter?

It looks like we don't have a page for "Ten Days of Twitter" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Ten Days of Twitter is ____", a sentence describing the term)

What is 100 Days?

Loqi
100DaysOfIndieWeb is a challenge to ship something IndieWeb-related every day for 100 days https://indieweb.org/100_days
#
chrisaldrich
https://10daysoftwitter.wordpress.com/about/ Could be an interesting template for Gen2 people who are indiewebifying...

Perhaps for those considering Known or WordPress and who have some technical skill... an outline for creating an indiewebified experience?

Ten Days of Twitter, https://10daysoftwitter.wordpress.com/about/, or #10DoT is an online course which, in 10 minutes a day over 10 days, gets participants tweeting and building up your professional network.

#
[tantek]
I feel this should somehow apply to how we recommend people build indieweb sites
#
chrisaldrich
I would have expected the numbers to be even higher than that. 24M is roughly 6% of America.
#
chrisaldrich
For comparison: "“Rural areas cover 97 percent of the nation’s land area but contain 19.3 percent of the population (about 60 million people),” Census Bureau Director John H. Thompson said." from https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2016/cb16-210.html
#
chrisaldrich
I'm curious whether those numbers include people with cell phones as "high-speed"? Building an indie. site on a cell phone is also a bigger feat
#
chrisaldrich
much less trying to even properly type indiesite on a cell phone properly... lol
#
grantcodes
Yeah I don't think that is too bad for a huge country (can always improve though). Also "sufficient" is very vague... And doesn't account for people who only ever use a phone to access the internet (which I believe is actually a surprising large amount)

↩️ Just discovered #10DoT and went looking for your chart. Page not found. Which, to me, suggests the need for an 11th day, devoted to the #indieweb and what it means to own your content.

It is really difficult, when something comes up in this channel, to stop before replying and think it ought to go elsewhere. Also, I’m a great believer in absorbing things by repeated exposure. So, I have no idea of the subtle differences among feeds, but I also know I don’t really need one.
#
davy__
That looks pretty cool. Also, It would make for a very poor April fools joke if they said "this is not an April fools joke" in the announcement and then said "ha! It was! Boy do you look silly for believing me!" the next day

i guess this is super -dev related, but to address the april fools question, it is also working well over here.

I'm an absolute beginner wanting to get into my own website and out of FB etc. I've read a lot of Indieweb pages and FAQs but I have a few questions. Is there a more appropriate newbie chat or someone willing to exchange one on one for a bit?
tantek joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
symon1: this is the chat room for that
#
symon1
Thanks. Can I syndicate to FB without having any account or presence there, e.g. via a friend or friend's group?
#
tantek
if you have no presence / account on FB, why would you want to syndicate there?
#
aaronpk
instead of challenging the question, I will just say no, generally that is not possible, since facebook doesn't provide a mechanism to create content there unless it's tied to an account
#
symon1
I want to continue FB-like contact with that group of people but would really like to leave FB altogether.
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
symon1
How would FB know that I am not said friend if I am tying my content to them?
#
aaronpk
i suppose yes you could use someone else's account if they let you. i do know some people who share FB accounts.
#
jeremycherfas
I'd agree with aaronpk, that's going to be very difficult. One possibility, if your friends on FB are up for it, is to get them either to subscribe to an email newsletter or even a feed of your site.
chrisaldrich joined the channel
#
chrisaldrich
It's also very likely that by posting content outside of FB that one's friends may be encouraged to do likewise.
#
symon1
Yes. Several of those people are also looking for a way to leave it while maintaining the casual content contacts.
#
chrisaldrich
I suppose one could create a "corporate page" for one's family and share that login/identity and have a "family page" for multiple people instead of dozens of accounts for that many people.
#
chrisaldrich
Of course, you're more likely to possibly run afoul of FB's terms of service and they could shut you down thereby losing access to such a group.
#
chrisaldrich
Yet another reason not to be there...
#
jeremycherfas
Who knows what FB's terms of service are these days? :)
#
symon1
Yep and yep but...
#
aaronpk
yeah doing anything aside from having an account per person is going to make facebook not happy and is likely not a sustainable solution
#
jeremycherfas
Can I ask symon1 what would be wrong with maintaining your presence purely as an outlet for certain posts that you originate on your own site? You can reply from your own site too. If you manage your account settings carefully, you could be OK.
#
symon1
Yes I'll probably end up maintaining a presence with minimal info. I guess it's a love/hate thing.
#
aaronpk
at this point my twitter and facebook are almost entirely a shadow copy of content from my website. the only original content I post on facebook is content in private groups.
#
chrisaldrich
Something about all of this reminds me of the common parents' expression: "If you live under my roof, you live under my rules."
#
jeremycherfas
I'm the same, especially on FB. Twitter I do reply to in silo.
#
symon1
Wouldn't it be legitimate for someone on FB to have a feed to their favorite off-FB website cause they want their group to benefit from its greatness?
#
chrisaldrich
By analogy, the IndieWeb in some sense is just the post-high school students on the web saying they're moving out of their parent's house for more freedom.
#
jeremycherfas
There used to be something like that, because I remember using it. Networked blogs?
#
aaronpk
symon1: yes it's common to link to your personal website in twitter/facebook so people can find you outside of there
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#
symon1
I meant that a friend who is not leaving FB could link to my website and/or get it into a group made up of my current FB friends. That should be legit because they like my site and want FB friends to get the benefit of seeing it, so to speak.
#
jeremycherfas
This is the thing I was thinking of https://www.networkedblogs.com
#
jeremycherfas
But I'm no longer sure it works as I remember.
#
jeremycherfas
In fact, it looks like a disaster.
#
symon1
Yeah, that looks as though I'd still need my FB account or everyone else would need to be doing networkblogs.
#
jeremycherfas
Sorry I mentioned it.

In the vein of jeremycherfas' comment, there are some interesting experiments in the wild with multi-site WordPress with things like https://edublogs.org/ or /DoOO which have integrated readers for those participating.

Having some super solid /readers is going to be one of the last major hurdles for the indieweb.
