Why does it always rain on me? / Is it because I chose an open, distributed, trustable ID

#travis #iiw

Single least favorite thing in computers: "so simple your mother could understand it". My mother went to Oxford and coded in assembler. #iiw

Hosting a discussion about making money from distributed, grassroots platforms at #iiw. Should be interesting.

Don't find customers for products - if you don't know there's a customer need, you shouldn't have a product. #iiw

Seeing some snark about unconferences in the #iiw hashtag. I love them. If you don't like a set of conversations, move to a different one.

The very first week @withknown was a company, we were at #iiw. Excited to be heading down to Mountain View to participate again.

Once again sad to miss #iiw. Related: we've got something coming out a little later ...

Very sad to not be able to make it to #iiw today. A vital event about data control & identity. Check out the hashtag for more information.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Internet Identity Workshop #iiw. We'll be back!

I think it's nice that someone found a unicorn at #iiw.

Fun idea: what if @usps was a high-assurance identity provider? Would be kind of poetic if they did email & package management too. #iiw

Sounds a lot like the "#VRM as a Social Network" is exactly what we're building at @withknown. #iiw

Amazing that November 10th is @Firefox's 10th birthday. That single product did - and is doing! - so much for the web. #iiw

Going to be talking about #indieweb tech (the ideas & tech behind @withknown) at #iiw in 15 minutes. IRC channel, please do not swear. ;)

The interests are gathered from your browsing history. As you surf, you essentially profile yourself. You can then rank interests. #iiw

Learning about the @Mozilla Interest Dashboard. Rather than being tracked for ads, users express interests - perhaps from @withknown? #iiw

One of the many reasons I love @mozilla: a refreshingly spin-free way of talking about their own products. Genuinely open. #iiw

@KainTietzel Key questions to ask when using something like this: can I get my data out? Do I control it? @katrynadow #iiw

Also pushing for APIs like the @Firefox Social API to work as well on mobile (where people browse most of the time) as on desktop. #iiw

Loving the @mozilla session at #iiw. My message: the web needs to be about publishing as much as consumption. eg, easy mobile media uploads.

Really enjoying #iiw so far
