Matt #Mullenweg, CEO of #Automattic — the current owner of the #social #media platform Tumblr — confirmed that Tumblr will soon support the ActivityPub #protocol. He said in a #Twitter post, “we’ll add #activitypub for interconnect. We are mostly dealing with the waves of new users right now and keeping everything scaling but [interoperability] and activitypub are ASAP.”

...

Meanwhile, the photo sharing site Flickr is considering ActivityPub support. CEO Don #MacAskill said on Twitter, “Was just discussing ActivityPub earlier this week internally. Should we add to Flickr? No promises, just thinking out loud to gauge interest. It might be right up our alley, though.”

Tumblr and Flickr Might Join Mastodon’s “Fediverse” Network

Mastodon is the federated social media platform skyrocketing in popularity, comprised of thousands of independant servers instead of one website owned by one group. Soon, some mainstream social media sites could interconnect with Mastodon.

I like #Naver's #blogging platform. Fast, simple, distraction free. #Google's #Blogger and #Automattic's #WordPress should learn from it and other Korean publishing platforms.

The language divide allowed them to develop better tools than the rest of the world.

What Korean pub platforms can learn from the world are meta tags, semantic web, and similar technologies which makes content easy to consume elsewhere, or at least display in other SNS services.
