Webmention is brill because it brings people together. Well, it brings content writers together at least. With Webmention, you can reply to a blog post from your own blog, or from social media, or with a static page, or from pretty much anywhere online.
Webmention is a W3C recommendation that describes a simple protocol to notify any URL when a website links to it, and for web pages to request notifications when somebody links to them.
