Incidentally, for those who are interested, here’s the outline of how I posted my #PressEDConf20 presentation to Twitter today using my WordPress website. It could be its own presentation.

I'm only 5 tracks in, but this is Extremely Good. And oddly soothing. Couldn't get the download to work, but fortunately it's also on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=dp58R7…
Anybody out there? New Nine Inch Nails out now. Ghosts V - VI. Hours and hours of music. Free. Some of it kind of happy, some not so much. nin.com

We may let it all hang out on eternal Caturday.

Learned about video.etherpad.com from jgregorymcverry.com! This looks like a nice merger for holding meetings and taking notes in real time! (v2.jacky.wtf/post/493f865d-…)

Completed Season 1 of #StarTrekPicard. My concluding thoughts:
The joys of working from home! I made Bloody Marys for Jack and me. Yum.

The song “In Motion” started playing and I was tempted to re-watch The Social Network. I think I might do that tonight!

Investors were accidentally buying shares of Zoom Technologies instead of Zoom Video Communications and now trading in Zoom Tech is suspended:
Zoom Technologies (ticker ZOOM) is NOT the similarly-named popular video communications company. Today the SEC suspended trading in the securities of Zoom Technologies. ...
You didn't hear it from me but the capitalists who thought stealing wages was a great idea
Lol we’re a bunch of paycheck to paycheck employees living in apartments owned by paycheck to paycheck landlords and working for paycheck to paycheck corporations. Lmao...

I’ve also been able to use my WordPress website to collect posts relating to my participation in conferences like PressEdConf20 or Domains 2019 which included syndicated content to Twitter and the responses from there that have come back to my site using Brid.gy which bootstraps Twitter’s API to send Webmentions back to my website.

If Twitter were to go away, they may take some of my connections, but the content and the conversations will live on in a place under my own control.

Thanks for your time and attention! I’m around on Twitter–or better: my own website!–if you have any questions.

There’s current research, coding work, and thinking going on within the IndieWeb community to extend ideas like private webmentions and limiting audience so that this sort of interaction can happen in more secluded online spaces. I’d welcome everyone who’s interested to join in the effort. Feel free to inquire at an upcoming IndieWebCamp, Homebrew Website Club, event, or in online chat right now.

Imagine webmentions being used for referencing journal articles, academic samizdat, or even OER? Suggestions and improvement could accumulate on the original content itself rather than being spread across dozens of social silos on the web.

By taking the content AND the conversation around it out of the hands of “big social media” and their constant tracking and leaving it with the active participants, we can effect far more ethical EdTech.

As a concrete example, I now have tagged archives for all the work I’ve done for EDU522 with Greg McVerry who also has his related posts in addition to a variety that he subsequently archived.
