Brainstorming: New uses for Webmention – books, sports, debates, votes, bands, and more
Webmention is a great idea. An idea that could be used for even more things than it is used for right now. These are some wild and unfettered ideas I had today about Webmention and things you could do with it.
Introduction
In the wee small hours of this morning, I added a new section to Open Mentions – Brainstorming. The first brainstorming topic I added was New Uses of Webmention.
In this section, I’m going to introduce my topic and explain what brainstorming is so all readers are up to speed. You can skip to the wild ideas if you wish.
What is brainstorming?
Brainstorming is when a bunch of people get together to generate ideas. All ideas are written down, and only later are any of them validated. This means that the silly-sounding idea that might turn out not to be so silly gets a chance to breathe without anyone holding back for fear of looking silly.
Brainstorming is a creativity technique in which a group of people interact to suggest ideas spontaneously in response to a prompt. Stress is typically placed on the volume and variety of ideas, including ideas that may seem outlandish or “off-the-wall”. Ideas are noted down during the activity, but not assessed or critiqued until later. The absence of criticism and assessment is intended to avoid inhibiting participants in their idea production.
Brainstorming, WikiedpiaWhat’s Webmention, then?
Webmention is a cool technology that allows you to ping a page to tell it that you have mentioned it. The page admin can then list mentions if they like.
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.
Webmention, IndieWebOn almost all my blogs, Webmention is a way you can post comments by posting your own content on your own blog or website. I think everyone should give it a go.
You don’t even need to run Webmention on your blog to ping another one. When you are done reading this (assuming you are reading on my blog and not on Mastodon or something), you will see a form where you can ping your mention to this post. My blog will do all the work for you.
I’ve written a lot about Webmention in the past, including a list of every last Webmention library I could find. Webmention was the inspiration for Open Mentions. It seemed like such an obvious idea that I was surprised no one had made something like it already. Maybe there are more Webmention ideas out there in the wild; we should share them.
No one is going to pick up your idea and run with it unless they first encounter your idea.

- webmention.io – a third-party service for webmentions.
- brid.gy – a service for sending webmentions
The wild ideas
The yes-and-no debate with twin webmentions
Most questions in the real world are not so much yes or no and more, “it depends” and “sometimes, perhaps”. This is what makes a good yes-and-no debate fun. Imagine someone writes a post introducing a question and publishes it with two Webmention endpoints – one for arguing yes and the other for arguing no.
From a technical standpoint, I would imagine that the twin mentions format actually has two child pages with one endpoint each.
For WordPress, I guess this would be a post that has two custom post types attached, such that
example.com/post/my-questionhasexample.com/post/my-question/yesandexample.com/post/my-question/ne. The post might need some sort of custom template to show two columns of comments (which is how WordPress stores mentions).Go, sports team!
This one might take a bit of work to set up. You generate a set of pages, one for each team in the sport you follow. Add to each one an 88×31 in the team’s colours – maybe other banner sizes as well – and some copy-and-paste code to make adding it easy. Now, every blog with an author who supports the team can:
- Show team pride with a nice badge
- Add their page to the team page so other supporters of the sports team can find them.
Enthusiasts could post match reports, news, transfers, and all the other stuff sports lovers like to track and talk about. With a simple link and a ping, the news ends up on an Open Topic where the sports team’s fans might lurk.
I’m not a sports person myself. I understand that it is a fun form of mostly harmless tribalism that others enjoy, though. If there are enough personal website-owning sports fans, this could be a thing.
I believe that… AKA author infoboxes
You may wish to select a finite, bounded set of ideas for this one, but what about a set of pages that can be linked to (perhaps with 88×11 badges) for personal beliefs, political ideas, and other worldviews?
With a substantial enough collection, you might have enough that your personal website or my personal website could fully enumerate all of our opinions on a subset of all matters in the world.
While there might be some scope for some heated debates, there could also be some fun ones. I’m thinking of the topic of bedtime.
- I believe early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and rich.
- I believe the best ideas happen after midnight
- I believe that mornings should be illegal
You get the idea.
A variant idea (using 88x31s perhaps) might be a collection of userboxes like the ones on Wikipedia. Webmention could ensure that each page is a self-updating directory of who claims which tag/box/label/thing.
I made something somewhat similar with isbrill.com, except you can’t (currently) vote agreement with Webmention (only ActivityPub). I should probably fix that.
Book review Open Topic
If you did a little coding so that every ISBN had a page, you would have a distributed Webmention-powered API for book reviews.
Personally, I’d have a system that has a URL ending with an ISBN. The system assumes all ISBNs are valid (within reason) and generates a page if one has not yet been made. There’s enough API for book information that, over time, you could populate the pages with a book cover, blurb, author, and other related bookish details.
This idea is basically Open Mentions but for books.
Maybe you don’t want to do that for all possible books, but if you are an author, maybe do it for each of your books. That way you collect reviews on your site for your books (social proof moves mountains) and you can learn a little about your readers.
Voting on The Web We Want (not my idea, but it was too cool to leave out).
The Web We Want is a site where various possible wants for the web are listed, and votes come in by WebMention.
Votes are tallied from webmention “bookmarks” and “likes” of each want’s page. These could be hand-crafted webmentions sent from your own site or shares and likes on social media services combed by Brid.gy. We’re hopeful that this approach captures community sentiment well, but reserve the right to change or alter the voting process in the future.
Voting for the web you wantI only learned about this site today, and it is, in my opinion, a fantastic idea.
Run polls with Webmention
Polls are fun. At least, I think they are. Rarely do I let a poll scroll past me on social media without a vote. Now, I will admit to being something of a munchkin – I will gleefully vote in polls I don’t understand. I am why you need a large sample set so that noise like me doesn’t skew your results.
Webmention can be used to send likes. And, as such, a mention with content is just a vote with an added comment.
All you would need is a page for the question and pages for the answers. Icing on the cake would be a bit of the question page that counts the mentions on its children and gives you a vote chart. To be honest, this is the exact same technology needed for the yes-and-no debate idea.
Make a fan site for a band or musician you love
I imagine it would not be too much work to make a minisite with every album, song, and tour of your favourate music group. Now you and other fans can track exactly what the fandom is talking about right now.
I imagine you might find lyrics and their meanings filed under songs, reviews for albums, and selfies with the band on certain tour pages.
To be honest, any band with an indieweb fan contingent should probably set this up for themselves (or get the fan club manager to do it).
What now?
Those ideas are all nice and everything, but what now?
Well, you have a few options:
- Pray, hope, or chant in the hope someone implements the idea you like.
- Actually talk about the idea you like, in the hope that someone with the right skills fancies making it happen.
- Say, “hold my drink,” and write a brainstorming post of your own.
- Shrug, agree these are nice ideas and get on with your day.
- Steal one or more of these ideas. No, seriously, help yourself.
- Leave a long, rambly comment that should have been a blog post.
- Something else…
Whatever you choose, this is the bit where I say, “over to you”. Comment, mention, or reply. Like, share, or subscribe to my RSS feed. Come on, we all know how this bit works.

Sent my first webmention out from my website today. Granted it was to myself, but it showed up just like any other like from the fediverse or Bluesky.
It is confusing though with all these platforms where you should interact from. If I find a post on here, should I like it on the fediverse but also send a webmention like?¿? I don’t know but I guess I’ll figure it out as I go.

Inspired by the way @felix has his blog setup as a webpage on his website, I have been moving my personal blog off of writefreely to my website. To consolidate my own stuff from my projects. They are also fully #webmention enabled. Thanks for the idea, Felix! #indieweb

What to blog when you have run out of ideas
Running out of ideas sucks. So save this link: Get a blogging topic
That’s the Open Mentions random question link. You reply by writing a blog post and ping the question using WebMention. Don’t worry if you don’t have WebMention set up, you can still ping the page (there’s a form at the bottom).
You can also reply using Mastodon. Grab the link, search it, and hit reply. Job’s done.

Because it supposedly affects the exposure of an "influencer" if they have non-interacting and no activity followers (which Instagram constatly debunked but these "influencers" won't listen).
Keep posting, that's how #blogging and #SNS / #SocialMedia was. That's why I want #Webmention implemented. -
#POSSE = fancy acronym for cross posting content that is also on your blog.
#webmention = pingbacks but less spam because even the spammers don't want to adopt it

@[email protected] your question does not make sense.
My post was about the open web and free content, being freely accessible (viewable).
If you want to post a comment, you should do so on your personal site, and notify the original post via the Webmention protocol (a good CMS or content hosting service will do this automatically). One advantage of using open standards like Webmention is there is no need to register with other sites to use them on your own site.
You should own your replies, rather than expecting other websites to host them.

I realized something missing with most ATmosphere blog platforms: #IndieWeb #Webmention support, the successor to pingback.
The old pingback was a big factor that helped explode blogging in the late 90s and 00s.

My day so far
Got up after a good long sleep and decided to add some pictures to my /me page. Decided that the pictures should be hosted on the same domain but that another subdomain was probably okay.
Got sidetracked checking out my many open tabs with the intention of closing some. More tabs are now open.
Browsed places I have previously shared pictures.
Got sidetracked looking at my past photography.
Post the first picture to my social media node (here). Added it to my /me page.
Added a link to my site about my dad as it was relevant.
Got sidetracked updating the code that runs the site. All up to date.
Posted said first post. That’s odd; the manual ping did not send. Sent a ping.
Got sidetracked when I remembered one of my blogs was flooding someone’s website with mentions.
Got sidetracked reading their blog while trying to remember which site I linked to it on.
Remembered and opened the blog in question.
Got sidetracked checking comments held for moderation.
Got sidetracked replying to comments
Got sidetracked following a link in the comments
Got sidetracked reading about ADHD diagnosis options
Got sidetracked messaging my sister about an idea from following the link
Got sidetracked posting a reply thanking for link
Got sidetracked back to bug hunting.
Got sidetracked when asking AI why the pings keep sending; learned I might want to look at the post meta for pings sent. Realised I needed to know the blog ID as it is part of a network.
Went to the blog’s parent blog to look up its blog ID.
Got sidetracked removing spam from parent blog
Got sidetracked checking which email domains spammers were using and blocking them
Got sidetracked refreshing RSS feeds for the parent site.
Looked up blog ID; opened PHPMyAdmin to look at post meta. Yep, the flooded site is not listed.
Went to GitHub and found someone had opened an issue about this. Posted my findings to the issue.
Got sidetracked browsing the issues on GitHub
Got sidetracked commenting on issues
Got sidetracked when I panicked and thought it was Thursday, and I was running late. I was halfway to getting ready to go out when I realised it was Wednesday.
Got sidetracked writing this post about how often I got distracted today
What do you mean by attention issue?
I guess I will try and find my way back to adding photos to my /me page.

I joined the IndieWeb; here's what I learned.
What it is, its principles, which protocols I implemented (h-entry, Webmention, WebSub...), which I skipped and why, and what actually made a difference.

Snapshot of my blog’s reactions by week
I love getting likes, shares, and all that. I also enjoy charting things. Thus, I charted some data from my fediverse instance that is also a blog.
As well as being a bit of the fediverse, this account is also a single-user #WordPress blog. It receives ActivityPub likes, replies, and boosts, WebMentions, pingbacks, trackbacks, pings, and local comments.
The data for the chart is updated once a day and does not show the current week. That’s to stop the last data point looking low and to stop me obsessing over my reaction count while still letting me view nicely formatted data.
You can see the live chart on my blog. Today (8th July) it will look exactly the same. It will remain fairly similar until Monday morning. The chart uses Google Charts because I don’t like to reinvent the square wheel and I’m not that good at JavaScript to roll my own. Feel free to suggest open source libraries that can do this to a similar standard.

@michaelharley That's a very good point about making those distinctions; it is the next thing on my to-do list :-/
But at the moment I'm more bothered by the ones that just seem to ignore you altogether...

I'm now sending out charmed webmentions to inform/notify commenters on my blog when their comments get responses.

Huh. I've never seen that before. In the #snac web interface, it shows up as a #WebMention.
Pity @tut isn't being developed anymore. :'(

I have a great idea that I would love someone to steal if they're feeling so inclined: webmention/RSS bridge, bringing reblogs to the html world.
basically it would be a service where you give it an RSS feed for your website (and any webmentions you might send), and it gives you back an RSS feed of any webmentions you've received.
