WDC 2.9 the future of indieweb

independentday.org manifesto 2001

in the old days everyone have their own url instead of name.

2002 friendly silos arrived.
- sharing

2006 - social network
why?
easy signup
ur friend friends
reading and posting (where u can comment)

2007 popularizes simplicity
extremely simple ui

--
2007 facebook f8 platform launch
2008 facebook connect
2014 facebook f8 
it reminds at as worker hive back to silos

--
geocities shutdown
upcoming shutdown
posterous shutdown

--
what went wrong in 2003?
peak independent web.
- atom vs rss ? arguing plumbing instead of UI
- trackback or pingback is spam
- pingback noise user experience. it was designed by backend


decline if personal sites
- distracted by format wars
- social net to connect to people
- silo ux evolved: twiter fb

distraction vs focus


2008 social web foo camp - federation twitter and jaiku
but didnt happened

--
2010 federated social web summit
- too much talking not enough building
- architecture astronot. (abstraction)
- more talkers
- complacent complexity . eg oauth. salmon

i dont care about federation, i care abt mu content and my friend

--
2011 indiewebcamp.com
discusion
docs wiki

- show dont tell
- creators only
- must have domain nane to attend
- use ur site as openid to signin to wiki
- rsvp on wiki
- creators may bring an apprentice

what we learn?
- no mailing list. instead irc archived
- simplicity
oauth => indieauth
microformats2
pingback => drop xml rpc just http (webmention)
easier pubs and consumers
user exp first

--
copy the best e.g copy from twitter ui into our web

--
2014 do we have a chance?
- peak silo ux -> fb like twitter
they stuck

* publish on his own site and itpublish  everywhere
distribution interactions


--
indieweb wants u.
to own ur data , permalinks abd ur identity online

irc #indiewebcamp
wiki indiewebcamp.com
build indieweb into ur site
