@jomc Sounds like some of the raison &d'etre for the #indieweb or conferences like #DtMH16

Andreas, The best way I'm aware of to do read posts with #WithKnown currently is to post a status update to the effect. I've been considering doing a plugin similar to Jonathan LaCour's Watching https://github.com/cleverdevil/Known-Watching but for books. In fact, other than some cut and paste work and changing the microformats, it should be a simple thing. I'd almost feel guilty for "stealing" it.

I've started hacking away at a Read plugin similar to the bookmark or like functionalities that simply bookmarks articles which I've read online, but it's got some quirky upstream issues that need to be solved before I can finish it. Ultimately it's really for online content more so than books (or even magazines) though. I may circle back around to it sometime toward the end of the summer as I'm trying to finish up some last pieces on my Reading workflows for WordPress.

@realkimhansen @jimpick I heard earlier today that Tung.fm has been open-sourced on Github. https://tung.fm #podcasting

@cleverdevil Thanks for the kind words Jonathan. I nearly used your example in the piece, but it was already clocking in around the 4,600 word/20 minute mark, so I had to let it go. I've been thinking about this issue since last November and your post a while back was part of the kick-in-the-pants that made me write up all the moving pieces together so that feed readers not aware of the possibilities could see the bigger picture.

If you remember, do manually POSSE your comment to the main article so those who come across it have the extra example!

In my experience there are so few biologists who are aware of information theory (much less know it well) that the subset of neuroscientists aware of it is minuscule. As a result I can't image that there's a university that would come close to claiming leadership in the field.

I do keep a growing list of researchers working at the intersection of information theory and biology, and even that list is pretty slim though there are researchers like Terry Senjowski or Werner Loewenstein (now deceased) on it. http://boffosocko.com/itbio/itbio-researchers/

The NIPS conference might also reveal some researchers, though most are from the neurobiology side: https://nips.cc/

You might also find some interesting people and papers at: https://www.mendeley.com/community/information-theory-for-neuroscience/members/

Another area of overlap in these is in complexity theory where you're likely to find some working with a strong underpinning in information theory.

@kylewmahan Fair warning: tomorrow morning AM PST, a piece I wrote about feed readers (where I use Woodwind as the shining-est example) for http://altplatform.org (new blog by @ricmac et al) is going to be posted. I hope you're slashdotted mercilessly, but I hope it stands up. ;)

As always, thanks for the most awesome reader on the net!

@pfefferle Danke!

Congrats on the start of your "journey". And bonus points for wikifying yourself on the wiki!
