I found out why it was harder to get a hotel this weekend in San Diego. Apparently, the American Society of Hematologists is having their annual conference and exhibition. I spent over an hour trying to get a ride out of the airport, surrounded by people with conference swag. Not sure how many attendees, but 32,000 people attended last year according to their site.

Determining Good Syndication Defaults

I’ve been very reluctant to set defaults for syndication, making options be selected each time instead. This is a bit problematic because I like to reduce friction.

The issue is that I don’t want them to be global. I want them to be a bit more granular.

For example, a hallmark of a note for me is that is doesn’t have an explicit title. Maybe I want all notes to go to all services that support them unless I say otherwise….

I am worried about a mistake I made years ago involving importing old posts… so the code needs to check the published date and not post anything old automatically.

Responses to URLs on a syndication site should automatically go out to that site…but not necessarily to other sites.

I had a discussion about this with my Indieweb associates at IndieWebCamp San Diego and I’m still not sure what I’ll end up doing.
