KartikPrabhu i still don't understand what a linktree is
[tw2113_Slack_] joined the channel
# 
[tw2113_Slack_] i think it’s just a one page place that you can fill in various links
# [tw2113_Slack_] probably pre-determined, so just fill in your username for twitter and it outputs the twitter link, etc
# KartikPrabhu so it is supposed to be a list of URLs you usually out in a rel-me?
# [tw2113_Slack_] more or less
# [tw2113_Slack_] it’s a single page blogroll about yourself
# KartikPrabhu less features than about.me!
# KartikPrabhu does that count a negative number of "features"?
# KartikPrabhu :P
# KartikPrabhu its just weird to make a silo for a list of links which we already know how to do!
# [tw2113_Slack_] well then you’re not part of the target market 😉
# KartikPrabhu oh ok good :)

# 
[chrisaldrich] I've seen it more on places like Instagram which just give you the one link in your bio, so people put in a linktree link to give people some extra options, particularly when they say the ever-popular Instagram phrase "see link in bio".
# [chrisaldrich] someone relatively appropriate actually registered the domain name seelinkinbio.com
# [chrisaldrich] rayos!
# KartikPrabhu as a free silo I can see it. But if it is paid then it really does not seem worth it
# [tw2113_Slack_] [chrisaldrich] company i work for technically has a plugin for WP where you can change the URL a link goes to from the WP side instead of the Instagram side. more 1:1 than Linktree, but similar idea
# [chrisaldrich] Tanteks law, perhaps?
# KartikPrabhu so indieweb = IW = eye-dubs ?
# [chrisaldrich] in·sta is 2 syllables
# [tw2113_Slack_] fewer unintentional miscommunications than “what’s your gram” ?
# [tw2113_Slack_] my head is thinking illegal drugs with that phrasing
# [chrisaldrich] An IndieWeb version of linktree would surely be something more like a hub/wheel design or pyramid maybe with one's personal website address either in the middle or on top (respectively).
# [chrisaldrich] linkbrella? Using your own domain and syndicating also helps you stay DRY? 😉
# [chrisaldrich] Linktree generator ala http://microformats.org/code/hcard/creator?
# [chrisaldrich] copy and paste this on your website...
# [chrisaldrich] didn't someone mock up/build an h-card as a service? Shane B maybe?
# [chrisaldrich] I was trying so hard too...

# aaronpk Where's that page that talks about UIs that prompt you to consider whether you really want to send the message https://twitter.com/coryodaniel/status/1374431338661515275?s=21
# 
@coryodaniel @EmilyKager Twitter should buy Grammarly and use it to make a “you sound like a shithead” message pop up _before_ hitting send. Maybe even block it all together. We can do that with AI can’t we or can we just drive cars and shit? (twitter.com/_/status/1374431338661515275)

# [chrisaldrich] Elgan touches on a bit of that idea too when writing about Dispo the other day https://www.idginsiderpro.com/article/3611416/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-world-of-social.html (towards the bottom of the article).
# [chrisaldrich] tl;dr: Dispo lets you take photos today, but you can't edit or change them and they don't post for viewing until 9am the next day for consumption, so you lose the immediacy for a more "slow" social experience.
