Syndication to Medium · Issue #33 · dshanske/syndication-links https://github.com/dshanske/syndication-links/issues/33

Now that Medium's API now supports posting and in addition to their "import post" functionality (POSSE), their [bulk POSSE method](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/218572107-How-to-move-to-Medium), as well as their [WordPress Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/medium/), it would be great if Syndication Links could programatically grab the URL from the plugin for inclusion. (I don't think any of the other methods provide data, but I could be wrong.)

For reference the WordPress Medium Plugin is storing the data in postmeta in meta_key named "medium_post"

Here's an example from something that I posted recently from that field:
`O:11:"Medium_Post":11:{s:16:"author_image_url";s:69:"https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/fit/c/200/200/0*ici7OvT6gSngj2t9.jpeg (14KB) ";s:10:"author_url";s:32:"https://medium.com/@chrisaldrich";s:11:"byline_name";N;s:12:"byline_email";N;s:10:"cross_link";s:2:"no";s:2:"id";s:12:"4335e2d72369";s:21:"follower_notification";s:3:"yes";s:7:"license";s:19:"all-rights-reserved";s:14:"publication_id";s:12:"12b80d28f892";s:6:"status";s:6:"public";s:3:"url";s:73:"https://medium.com/@chrisaldrich/wordcamp-orange-county-2016-4335e2d72369";}`

It's obviously the final URL in the array that you'd want to scrape.

Webmentions failing sporadically · Issue #682 · snarfed/bridgy https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/682

Sometime in the last week I find I'm sporadically missing webmentions from both Twitter and Facebook. It doesn't happen all the time, but I feel like I'm missing about a quarter or so of what should be coming back.

I've tried resending them through the brid.gy UI and it seems they then make it about 50% of the time.

The responses I'm seeing on those that fail are similar to the text below

> 2016-07-11 09:48:49.613280 I Giving up this target. {'body_json': {u'error': u'Could not find WordPress.com account for boffosocko.com. Is it registered with Bridgy?'}, 'code': '...', 'request': u'POST https://www.brid.gy/webmention/wordpress (with source=https://brid-gy.appspot.com/react/facebook/5410052/10101051440366925/10152707877027963/10101051440366925_wow_by_10152707877027963, target=http://boffosocko.com/2016/07/10/lunch-at-wordcamp-orange-county/)', 'http_status': 400}

This appears to me to be that Brid.gy thinks I have a WordPress.**COM** account rather than a self-hosted .**ORG** version. I'm unsure what could be causing this and don't seem to find any type of commonality for why some fail while others go through.

.@AaronJHolbrook's session on Elasticsearch was possibly the best session at WordCamp this weekend. #WCOC16 http://boffosocko.com/2016/07/12/wordcamp-orange-county-2016/

I just saw a session at WordCamp Orange County on Elastic Search (http://www.elasticpress.io/ with https://github.com/10up/ElasticPress) that was able to scrape/sync SQL databases and provide incredibly fast google-like search as well as predictive search (10up had a separate Github respository for predictive search I think). This might be an interesting additional alternative with relatively low overhead.
