[jgmac1106] Getting close on my last goal of the day: https://jgregorymcverry.com/mypoetry now just a matter of playing with typography till it's purdy and media queries....need to do one of those...
# [jgmac1106] and fix the incorrect audio files plus catch up them up to date...but really excited. More so for the general learning about how tools use and consume feeds that I am walking away with.
# 
[ColinMorris] Neat.
# [jgmac1106] thx, media query done...now to break out the Sundays
# [jgmac1106] ...oops sorry for slang, Sunday's=nice clothes you would wear to church, using as metaphor for playing with fonts and colors and borders and goodies

# AkyRhO Good morning Indieweb
# AkyRhO I just noticed omnibear for firefox dissapeared
# AkyRhO anyone know what happened?
# AkyRhO the chrome extension seems to be still available though

# 
[chrisaldrich] AkyRho, I'm not sure, perhaps a better question for keithjgrant, though it may have to wait for the morning as I recall he's on US EST timezone. Others may know in the meanwhile.
# [chrisaldrich] I just reconfigured it on Chrome last week as it was having trouble with my micropub endpoint. (I was able to manually create a token and get it up though.)

jmac Good afternoon IndieWeb! A professional colleague recently asked me why anyone would want to actually learn & use Webmention today, and drafted this reply: https://jmac.org/misc/webmention-why.html Does this seem generally correct to y'all? Am I missing any obvious points?
# [jgmac1106] I would add some headings to improve readability
# 
aaronpk a lot of that should be added to https://indieweb.org/Webmention!
# [jgmac1106] I am also assuming audience has some level of prior knowledge based on jargon used. If not may want to simplify
# [jgmac1106] I like headings in my emails too. Anything you can do to reduce inferences of your organization for audiences
# [jgmac1106] Transitions are great. Last sentence of each paragraph leads me to next paragraph
# [jgmac1106] Do your best to write the first sentence using zero jargon and then list your reasons up front. Possibly in bullet points. No one reads entire emails

# [jgmac1106] Imagine a world where writers could own there content, interact with an audience, and not be at the whims of social media who can destroy an audience overnight.
kensp and [Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
# [Michael_Beckwit we call it a bad experience because the last time we had that, it was the 90s/early 2000s
# [Michael_Beckwit now to just get us back to those same things but with modern web experience 😄
# [jgmac1106] This is not some utopian dream but a real possibility when we all publich content on personal websites connected with webmentions. ..new paragraph
# [jgmac1106] A webmention is a building block of the open web that allow two sites to talk together without the peering and profit sucking drains of social media. Basically if you publish a piece on your website I can write a review on my website and this review will show up as a comment to your original posts
# [jgmac1106] Webmentions will be benefical to writers, brands, and media....short paragraphs you already have for each
# [jgmac1106] heading for each of the audiences and/or benefits based on how you organize your reasons
# [jgmac1106] jmac++

# [jgmac1106] good writing overall...just a writing teacher...so I can get overly critical
# [jgmac1106] truth be told I ran a bit of experiments...articles I linked to from my domain with an image, far out perform articles written on LinkedIn's pulse....by orders of magnitude

# jmac I have become a friend of https://search.creativecommons.org
# jmac My final answer to the original questioner is now at https://jmac.org/misc/webmention-why.html, and I think I will look to turn that into a little blog post or something
# [jgmac1106] oooh then install Alan Levine's CC flickr attribution tool, super helpful
# [jgmac1106] I still like the older one for all the media types: https://oldsearch.creativecommons.org/
