Molly White is doing something on her blog that I don’t think I’ve seen before. When linking some people’s names, she will include tiny links to Wikipedia or social web profiles. Here’s a screenshot with the links highlighted, in this case Wikipedia, Mastodon, and Bluesky:

@manton Whoa. I like this a lot.

@manton I had a linguistics professor in college who I remember gave a lecture on how these name markers were used on LiveJournal. I wonder if he's looked at it more recently.

@manton I like that. Wonder if that’s all manual?

@manton Molly is an awesome Geek!

@manton She’s just the best.

Also that looks crazy cool.

What is her publishing stack?

Lots of resonance with @scripting.com’s work.

@manton I first saw this in Gwern's site. Lots of interesting ideas there.

@manton I think I like it? It's easily understood and used but takes up little space and is easy to ignore if the reader prefers.

@writingslowly There's a Font Awesome plug-in for Micro.blog. Unfortunately not really any documentation, but it adds the Font Awesome files so you can use it in templates and blog posts.
