Loqi [clay_shirky] This whole thread is giving me feels, but to the basics, I'll tell you how it happened. I'd been writing about what we came to call social media since the early 90s (alt.culture.usenet and alt.folklore.urban ftw), but by the middle of last decade, al...

IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> Does anyone connect their RSS reader to a calendar feed so they can subscribe to upcoming events?
#
IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> The idea just came to mind. It doesn’t seem fully practical but is interesting nonetheless.

[tantek] hmm we have a page for this I think
#
[tantek] what are dead domains
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "dead domains" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "dead domains is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] dead domains are /lost_sites
#
Loqi ok
#
[tantek] what is Semantic Web
#
Loqi RDF is an abbreviation for Resource Description Format, an early-ish part of XML-related technology, that was pitched as the Semantic Web, used in Trackback and RSS 1.0 (but dropped by Pingback and RSS 2.0 respectively), later rebranded as Linked Data, experimentally published in the past, but not used by any indieweb use-cases in practice https://indieweb.org/semantic_web
#
[tantek] Semantic Web << Criticism: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31042118 <blockquote>billions of dollars in 2008-2010 timeframe on implementing Semantic Web technologies</blockquote>

Loqi ok, I added "Criticism: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31042118 <blockquote>billions of dollars in 2008-2010 timeframe on implementing Semantic Web technologies</blockquote>" to the "See Also" section of /RDF https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=80906&oldid=62259

#
Loqi hey [tantek], can you move the tech talk (Semantic Web) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
