@dbounds You can. Known is a simple way to publish a social stream and easily syndicate it to other software & networks.
@jgmac1106 @mhawksey Yes. Definitely need some glue to hold it all together - and if the integrations are lightweight this should work well.
@jgmac1106 @mhawksey Makes sense. We'll support it for sure, but institutions should have concerns about lock-in etc.
@jgmac1106 @mhawksey It technically could, but I think it would be better if the backbone was itself open. Google is far from that.

@jgmac1106 @Gouwehand @ErnaKotkamp Interesting! I was trying to steer away from that kind of monolithic solution towards tiny tools.
@jimgroom How does your tomorrow look? Or after 3pm today?
@sarahdessen Oh yes. Can't be beaten for all kinds of reasons. A part of my soul will feel complete for the first time in years.
@sarahdessen Thank you!! Sadly bringing my laptop and lots of work, but still, I'll be there!
@DeadSuperHero PS replying to you (and doing all tweeting) from Known; your replies show up on my site. Semi-federating with silos too.
@DeadSuperHero Yep, checked it out. It's all pretty exciting. The trick now is applications beyond social media, I think.
@DeadSuperHero For my money, the http://
@DeadSuperHero It's #FOSS, and federates discussions using #indieweb tech. There's also a 3rd party Diaspora plugin! @withknown
