First Public Working Drafts: Webmention; Social Web Protocols

The Social Web Working Group has published two First Public Working Drafts:

• Webmention: Webmention is a simple way to notify any URL when you link to it on your site. From the receiver's perspective, it's a way to request notifications when other sites link to it.
• Social Web Protocols: The Social Web Protocols are a collection of standards which enable various aspects of decentralized social interaction on the Web. This document describes the purposes of each, and how they fit together.
