    A site to share Vector images, as silos like Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Slack don’t show them. It makes a PNG version so when you link to it, the previews work. Formerly known as svgur.com

    I thought my eyesight was beginning to go. It turns out, I’m suffering from design.

  • How Twitter Got Angry

    As Twitter attempts to stem abuse, a look back at the service's earlier design shows how it became so ripe for it.

  • How To Break Open The Web

    The Internet's designers and a new generation of hackers are unraveling the knots keeping the web from living up to its original promise.

  • Replies to Silos only at my own site

    Can we POSSE to twitter with just a URL?

    Suze Shardlow: I found a lot more motivation to do this today with having other people doing it too, and thank you to @ohhelloana, @cheukting_ho and @calum_ryan for organising this very well.

  • Homebrew Website Club Teesside Notes

    good practice would be to always ping archive.org to stash pages when you link to them. This is something I do at https://mention.tech when sending webmentions - I archive both the links involved too.

  • Public Sevice Internet notes

    Solana Larsen: I'm worried about the global dystopian surveillance society, and anyone who reads the newspaper can see this now - free speech, freedom of movement everything is at risk

  • Mapcamp notes

    Simon Wardley: I would love for people to find better ways of mapping - mine are primitive and I made them creative commons so someone else can fix them.

  • XOXO notes

    jonny sun: I've been thinking about tweets as things that create conversation spaces - you create a little micro community in the replies to a tweet

  • Teacamp: Jacqui Taylor on GDPR

    Dr Jacqui Taylor: GDPR is about building our web world with privacy at the core - so citizens can trust us

  • Thinking Digital

    Sarah Wiseman: when my friend finally bought her house, I responded with 🎏🎏🎏carp streamers - I then realised that this was only a celebratory emoji for me and my sister. Just as 2 people can listen to the same audio clip and one hear Yanny and the other Laurel, they can look at the same emoji and see a different meaning.

    Jamie Burke: The hedge funds will come in and crash the crypto token market. All the senior partners are waiting on the sidelines to enter this market, but there is not enough liquidity for them - they will break the market when they come in.

  • Future Blockchain Summit Dubai

    Wesam Lootah: Yes, blockchain was not invented in Dubai, Satoshi Nakomoto is not a Dubai citizen. We want to be the blockchain capital of the world. If you have spent any time in Dubai over the last 10 years you can see that we make big promises and we deliver

  • Jeremy Silver and Jeremy Bailenson on 'Experience on Demand'

    Jeremy Bailenson: Start with a problem that needs to be solved, if VR or AR helps to solve it, great. Don't use the technology for the sake of it

  • Future Social Media - Digital Catapult

    Mark Little: When I went to work at twitter I started to see the antithesis further - big platforms are a contradiction. We are rows of corn to be harvested by big companies into data and sold to advertisers. So we need synthesis - what do we do? Do we leave it to platforms or governments to fix this?

  • GDPR and Media Innovation - Digital Catapult

    Kathryn Geels: Half of web users are faking their data due to security fears. Lawyers have told me that anyone who says they are 100% GDPR compliant is either lying or doesn't understand the regulations

    Michael Mainelli: Anyone who says they they are giving you database write for $35 - they are an idiot

    Every Silo has it's own custom preview markup, but Microformats make you smile.

  • Homebrew Website Club London notes

    Grigor : I haven't heard of indieweb before - I understand that you don't want to be bound to a specific platform and I like it

  • Twitter’s Nazi Filter

    It's not something that Twitter advertise, but they do have a built-in Nazi-blocking filter.

  • Long Finance notes

    Michael Mainelli: I have never seen a new technology take out an existing technology - even landlines are taking their time to go. The role of governance is to help us through these transitions of technology

  • Byte The Future

    Jonathan Rivers: Innovation Theater - all the fancy gadgets in the lab to look cool - a MS surface table, a 3d printer for some reason. There is more innovation in a stack of post-its than in a room full of fancy gadgets

    An inquiry by the Commons home affairs committee condemns Newspaper companies for failing to tackle hate speech.

  • Mastodon, Twitter and publics

    Long ago, I wrote about the theory of social sites, with the then-young Twitter as the exemplar. As Mastodon, GnuSocial and other federated sites have caught some attention recently, I thought I'd revisit these theories.

  • Homebrew Website Club SF notes

    EJ Harkness: The amazing thing about the internet is that it is everything - no-one cares whether it is MIT or oxford or my brain. If we have some stable means of establishing identity we can compare your history of what you say

    Rafi Schloming: Start with the people and think how to divide up the work first, let that lead to the technical perspective

  • Homebrew Website Club notes

    Dmitri Shuralyov: I discovered indieweb a week ago, and the values and motivations were thinking along the same lines. I found indieweb through someone's personal website.
