I've had refbacks on the brain for the past couple of months after having read Why Refback Still Matters, so I figured since I've already got the pingbacks, trackbacks, and webmentions enabled, what's one more way to communicate with my website from the outside? So as of this evening, just for fun, I'm now accepting refbacks too.

Earlier this week I joined my first webring in over a decade as well. It can't be any more embarrassing can it?

I might say that Known is a cross between WordPress and Facebook.

I'm stunned by the ideas @gladwell puts forth here, both by the ideas themselves, but even more so that I've not contemplated them previously. Stop what you're doing and listen to this podcast episode now.

@clacke @natecull Thanks for the questions and conversation; I've got to head off to bed shortly. Feel free to explore around and ask any questions. There's usually a bunch of us around in many time zones/languages who are happy to help.
