short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title a reply to content typically on another site a way to pay compliments to the original post/poster of external content
Webmention: one website to poke another website that an entry of mine (the first website) has your (the second website) link (URL), so the contents of the entry might be interesting to you. The rest is up to the second website – process it? Display it? Etc.
I like this definition a lot @petermolnar. Here is my try:
A webmention is a protocol, or set of rules dictating how data is shared on the web, that tells your website another place on the web published something with a link back to to your site. To make this work on social media people use a tool like Bridgy. This creates a backfeed which is the process of sending a post on social media “back” to your site as a webmention.
First question most people will have (even those who already have a website): what's a webmention?
Agree. These questions are coming out of my user interviews with people who already have the webmentions plug-in installed on WordPress. Want to develop answers both succinct and correct. Just correct is okay too.
Thinking about different webmention and bridgy questions people will have:
If I have the webmention plugin what happens if I add a link to a post on a blog where somebody else has webmentions?
If I have webmentions and I reply to to somone’s blog on my blog do I need to cut and paste my link into webmention box on their comment section?
A webmention just came into me from Twitter. If I reply on my blog will I also reply on Twitter?
A webmention just came into from Twitter. If I reply to the Tweet on Twitter will my tweet also show as comment also show on my post?
A conversation is happening about my post on Twitter. I want to reply but make sure my tweets stay threaded. Do I do a new reply to each tweet? Will all these tweets in the thread show up as comments to my original post?
Agree with these. Except the phone. That’s an excuse. Be like an alcoholic saying I am going to drink a lot. My brain is wired differently. Maybe folks need to detoxify their digital life. Either remove notifications or social media from your phone. All… https://t.co/UHWtet1svA
@readywriting It is why I added the no notification policy to my syllabi. I am the worst offender.
This explains so much. I might just start handing this out when I meet potential friends. https://t.co/mKiOUKWnYm

Having urnal nerve damage in left hand impeding me. I need this
I went about my #IndieWeb theme exploration project all wrong. I should have started with an installed instance of @cogdog ‘s template, added the plug-ins, and try to see what works and doesn’t. Compare this to #IndieWeb native themes. If Dimension is like the @hueman theme I may just need to hack away at a few things. What I like is that @cogdog dimension seems to be very compliant with WordPress standards. I have a starting point for tomorrow.
Sounds interesting. If you haven’t filled up yet, what’s the course #?
It will live here: https://twitter.com/SCSU/status/998179155060588544 but I am updating the site to CSS Grid here: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/join/dba8d63f-612a-4170-8cfe-eb4bf3accded Well this will be template for all my courses. Added a no notification and no driving section to Code of Conduct this morning.
My Summer B Digital Teaching and Learning II will focus on instructional design and open pedagogy. Class is available for grad credit (must submit portfolio if they having taking Digital Teaching an Learning I…a url to a blog) or free to anyone in the world.
Beginning the process of trying to squeeze an online semester of children’s literature into a summer session online at @scsu. Students should expect to be reading and writing for multiple hours a day but I will make our class a fun place to hang. One side benefit of the workload..somebody will always be floating through the stream.
