webmention
Webmention
is an open web standard (
W3C
Recommendation) for conversations and interactions across the web, a powerful building block used for a growing distributed network of peer-to-peer
comments
likes
reposts
, and other
responses
across the web.
Latest published version:
Latest draft:
Why
Enables cross-site conversations
. When you link to a website, you can send it a Webmention to notify it. If it supports Webmentions, then that website may display your post as a
comment
like
, or other
response
, and presto, you’re having a conversation from one site to another!
”… an @ mention that works across websites; so that you don't feel immovable from Twitter or Fb.”
Rony Ngala
How to implement or display
When you publish a post with links to other sites, your site can
send a webmention
notification to sites that accept them to inform them that they were linked to.
A webmention receiver provides discovery of their webmention endpoint so it can be found by others who link to the page. When a receiver’s endpoint
receives a webmention
notification, it looks up the sender’s post and may display it as a response.
Mentions mainly require a link to the recipient on the page, but they can be
enhanced into more meaningful
responses
(such as
comments
reposts
, or
likes
) by adding
microformats
to the sender’s post.

Webmentions (if valid) are logged to a text file and sent to Joel via email. Those that pass moderation are manually added to the target post as a comment (which on this site means it is included in the blog and sent to email and RSS subscribers as well as being appended to the target post).

For those with more programming knowledge there is also a method for
sending webmentions with cURL
To manually receive webmentions you can have your web server log HTTP POST requests sent to your webmention endpoint URL to a file. Then you look at the log file with your text editor and respond manually, or script it, or whatever you like. An example of how to do this with nginx is at
"A static, manual system for *receiving* webmentions (and pingback) with nginx"
Anonymous Webmentions (for commenting)
commentpara.de
allows you to send webmentions anonymously, which allows readers to
comment
on an IndiWeb post without having their own presence.

Discovery only with HTTP
Link: ; rel="webmention"
Approach for sending webmentions (with fallback sending of pingbacks)
check self Atom feed, if there are updates then proceed with discovery/sending for each update, for each link in the update: do a HEAD request first, do discovery for webmention endpoint, if none found, do discovery for pingback endpoint, if none found and the resource is
'application/xhtml+xml'
or
'text/html'
, do a GET request, do discovery for webmention endpoint, if none found, do discovery for pingback endpoint. send webmention if an endpoint was found, otherwise send pingback if an endpoint was found.

"Oh and webmentions. Webmentions are the COOLEST thing, imo. It's basically globally-compatible @ notifications, replies, bookmarks, etc. I have it set up for replies on my blog."
