Just found Tantek Çelik’s follow up to the long discussion too: http://tantek.com/2011/010/b1/owning-your-data — good read on the origins of POSSE and why tweets are worth storing #indieweb

Here is the wrap-up of @t and @zeldman and others discussing self hosting and links: http://notes.tomhenrich.com/2011/01/own-your-data/ /cc @tommorris #indieweb/

Note that myself and Aaron Parecki are overcoming some of these UX issues with things like Indieweb Reply, syndicated conversations and smart truncenation algorithms.

lkdto how about rel=me on all your links?

My #indieweb christmas presents to you all are ownership in the form of browser extensions: https://github.com/barnabywalters/own-your-comments https://github.com/barnabywalters/IndieWeb-Reply-Browser-Extension

Next target for #indieweb #rewriteTheWeb: Disqus and Livefyre comment interception

Indieweb Reply now supports post/reply/favourite/follow verbs, G+ and FB like buttons #indieweb

Are there any indiewebcamp designers who could make some little icon graphics for IndieWeb Reply? Would be a great way to contribute and highly appreciated!
