Nicolas, I broadly agree with you that many of these factors of reading and writing for understanding and retention are at play and the research in memory and spaced repetition underlines a lot of this. However in practice, one needs to be revisiting and actively using their notes for some particular project to remember them better. The card search may help to create both visual and physical paths that assist in memory too.
Reliance solely on a physical zettelkasten however may not be enough without active use over time, particularly for the majority of users. It's unlikely that all or even many may undertake this long term practice. Saying that this is either the "best", "optimum", or "only" way would be disingenuous to the diversity of learners and thinkers.
Those who want to add additional strength to these effects might also use mnemonic methods from indigenous cultures that rely on primary orality. These could include color, images, doodles (drolleries anyone?), sketchnotes, or other associative methods, many of which could be easily built into an (antinet) zettelkasten or other note taking platforms. Lynne Kelly's work in this area can be highly illuminating. For pure practical application and diversity of potential methods, I recommend her book "Memory Craft" (https:/
With this background on orality and memory in mind we might all broadly view wood and stone circles (Stonehenge), menhir, standing stones, songlines, and other mnemonic devices in the archaeological and sociological records as zettelkasten which one keeps entirely in their memory rather than writing them down. We might also consider, based on this and the historical record concerning Druids and their association with trees that the trees served a zettelkasten-like function for those ancient societies. This continues to extend to lots of other cultural and societal practices throughout history. Knowledge from Duane Hamacher et al's book *[The First Astronomers](https:/
For a second I saw this photo and misread the URL as "camp egg". 🍳
It definitely makes me nostalgic for diners though. And those plates are uber-diner design. 👀
@hypothes_is @CarlosGoller @mbiotech Carlos, thanks for sharing your experience this morning. Based on some of your comments in #LiquidMargins (live and in chat), if you've not come across it, you and *especially your students* may appreciate Sönke Ahrens' book "How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking - for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers". The techniques there can readily be implemented with Hypothesis in much the way you mentioned your students are already naturally doing for their own research. The book may help encourage them to extend their practice (in addition to a built in, but broadly unsung happiness/fun/quality of life component, which is always welcome in my book). There's also some research cited in it about how the ideas relate to learning research as well for those in the pedagogy related spaces.

I'm curious to hear what you, students, and others think about these ideas, particularly after using them for a while.

Thanks again @leppert for all those years of running and supporting @reading! 👋🏼😘🙏🏼🥰

Here's a list of sites within the Fediverse that report supporting Webmention:

I'm not sure if Aaron Parecki has a public list of all the sites that are using webmention.io, but that would add a huge number as would all the native sites that are part of micro.blog. I'm not sure if either publishes a list of sites using their services for a variety of reasons.
@whitneytrettien I went to the Whiki to search for something and discovered with dismay that it's gone. 😭Please tell us it's temporary.

Let's be honest, a week isn't really enough either... so with lots of heart, I'll wish you a happy birthfortnight!
@RicJBarnes The cultural anthropologist in me is curious about more specifics.
Here's my example of what I'm doing currently and some context:

Someone (@CSMoskell ?) at the @Hypothes_is #SLS22 conference on social annotation earlier today suggested using well annotated public web pages as examples could be helpful for adoption.

Here's an excellent project to use: https:/
I'm so glad @Hypothes_is is recording the sessions of #SLS22. So much valuable material about #annotations and pedagogy to absorb. This will need a few rounds of notes.

@bryankam How did I not hear about this earlier?
For a moment, I thought I missed the monthly talk from https:/
