<p>When you link to a website you can send it a Webmention to notify it and 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!</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/" rel="nofollow ugc">Webmention</a> is a notification that one URL links to another. Sending a Webmention is not limited to blog posts, and can be used for additional kinds of content and responses as well.</p>
<p>For example, a response can be an RSVP to an event, an indication that someone “likes” another post, a “bookmark” of another post, and many others. Webmention enables these interactions to happen across different websites, enabling a distributed social web.</p>
<p>The Webmention plugin supports the Webmention protocol, giving you support for sending and receiving Webmentions. It offers a simple built in presentation.</p>


Webmention

Easiest way to integrate Webmentions!

This is fantastic. I joined indieweb a few days ago. Last night I wanted to know "So what actually does the technical implementation of a WebMention look like?". I am now working on improving my understanding and perhaps I'll create some documentation that I find easier than the w3c spec or a WP plugin.

Great work, very patient team.

Wonderful

A good plugin that does something very useful. Love the indieweb and Matthias Pfeferle does such great work

Good plugin by a top dev

<p>Generates richer WordPress comments from linkbacks such as <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention" rel="ugc">Webmention</a> or classic linkback protocols like Trackback or Pingback.</p>
<p>The limited display for trackbacks and linkbacks is replaced by a clean full sentence, such as “Bob mentioned this article on bob.com.” If Bob’s site uses markup that the plugin can interpret, it may add his profile picture or other parts of his page to display as a full comment. It will optionally show collections of profile pictures, known as Facepiles, instead of the full setences.</p>
<p>Semantic Linkbacks uses <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2" rel="nofollow ugc">Microformats 2</a> to get information about the linked post and it is highly extensible to also add support for other forms of markup.</p>
<h3>Privacy and Data Collection</h3>
<p>This plugin collects data from sites that send webmentions for the purpose of displaying richer comments on a site. This data is under the control of the site owner. It is the personal responsibility of that individual or individuals to remove any information at the request of the original content creator. Over time, we will add additional tools to assist in doing so.</p>
