More power to @ChrisAldrich A nanowrimo book on indieweb will be novel even if it isn't a novel.

I do hope the indieweb dinner includes some spam for the bots.

I'm still a little hazy on the plumbing details of all the bits and pieces of IndieWeb but I would have thought that if withKnown has a micropub endpoint and micro.blog can send to the WordPress endpoint, it ought to be able to send to WithKnown. But I'm probably exposing my ignorance. And maybe it is on the roadmap.

Right. I had seen @jeffperry's profile elsewhere, and typed it by hand, making it easier for others to find it. If I hadn't found it elsewhere, I would not have been able to do that. At least, until @cn reminded me of Search in Discover

"botcotting" is the possibly accidental neologism of the day. As my POSSEs to that particular silo are manual, I cannot use it. But I admire the heck out of it.

13 October; now fixed.

It may well be a known bug, but as it isn't my site that is affected, I cannot investigate in any detail. I feel odd about reporting "issues" that don't affect me directly and that I have only witnessed and wondered about. So I just draw attention to them. I haven't seen similar behaviour on my child of Independent Publisher, I don't think.

If anyone is going to report it, I would think it would be you or James

A #followfriday for micro.blogs is certainly a good idea, but there's something odd about the way Jimmy Baum's site renders webmentions. I'm seeing Chris Aldrich's comment -- which brought me there in the first place -- as "Chris Aldrich mentioned this Article on amongthestones.com".

Shouldn't it be "Chris Aldrich mentioned this Article on boffosocko.com"?

I do wish people wouldn't do Medium's dirty work for it. John Naughton (and plenty of others) said what a great couple of pieces Dave Eggars had written in Medium, without saying that the work wasn't available without signing up for Medium. That may not be the worst thing in the world, but is it too much to hope that Dave Eggars will syndicate his own work to a place where anyone can enjoy it? Maybe eventually it will be in a book I will happily pay for.

I haven't used it,but I think Jared Sinclair's Stormcrow app is intended to build a tweetstorm from z bigger chunk of text, so it would be reasonably easy to use either before or after writing the blog post, if that's what you're doing. There's clearly a difference between text and tweetstorm, though, and, like @nitin, i would prefer to promote something I had written with selected tweets.
