[Michael_Beckwit Reasons why i doubt WordPress core will ever support webmentions out of box: 1) “We have pingbacks already” 2) Look at how much attention pingbacks get…ever
#
aaronpk We have to demonstrate how much better webmentions look, and that they're for a lot more than just blog post comments
#
[Michael_Beckwit i like to believe we could whisper in Mullenweg’s ear saying “web mentions have a web standard”

#
[chrisaldrich] Regarding webmentions and WordPress core, the fact that they're standardized, look better, and (from a business perspective) could allow WordPress to be the next Twitter or Facebook and eat all that market share should be the argument.
#
[chrisaldrich] In fact it's the business argument that will win them over, particularly because they're so enamored of their 35% website market share. Particularly when they look at the internet and realize that most think Facebook *IS* the web.
#
[chrisaldrich] We shouldn't be using arguments that include the words pingback/trackback because they have so much baggage. We should probably be framing them as website to website @mentions.

#
[Michael_Beckwit I’m kind of at that point where i’m cracking jokes that WordPress can also be used as a blogging platform
#
[chrisaldrich] Wait, wat?!? I can use it to blog?!
#
[chrisaldrich] TIL 🙂
#
[Michael_Beckwit goes to blog about this moment, where he taught Chris Aldrich something new
#
[chrisaldrich] 😛
#
tomk0 I have a problem. I want to add categories to the Woocommers store. They must be displayed only in the store. How can i do that? I'm using Genesis Framework and Child thems. It's about something like the picture: https://imgur.com/002sl9n

#
[Rose] You’ll probably need a menu for that. But this WordPress channel is generally for IndieWeb related questions 🙂
#
[Rose] (The Genesis folks have forums, and I’ve always got fast answers there, so you might want to try that too!)
#
[chrisaldrich] [Michael_Beckwith] speaking of 15 year old irrelevant words like "blogging" I saw this the other day: https://twitter.com/ilikebeans/status/1200059750202978304
#
@ilikebeans I don't think the ultimate replacement for social media will be called "social media" at all. (twitter.com/_/status/1200059750202978304)

#
[Michael_Beckwit i think i saw that too, and probably because i think you posted a reply about it
#
[Michael_Beckwit or a quote or something
#
[chrisaldrich] Many of us are doing the "next thing" and generally calling it IndieWeb, but I'm curious what word do we give to this that doesn't have the "baggage" of the word but also isn't technojargon?
#
tomk0 ok thx
#
[Michael_Beckwit something will emerge
#
[Michael_Beckwit “what do you have there Watson?” “It’s a word wide web logger” “Too long of a phrase.” “It’s a web log”. “Still too long, think small Watson”. “It’s a blog” “Perfect”
#
[Michael_Beckwit for some reason I was thinking Sherlock and Watson with that, but my head was hearing Baldrick and Blackadder
