Giving myself a quick break by reading Lukas Rosenstock's monthly review, and coming away with a few thoughts. One is that Lukas is brave, as he recognises, to admit that some things aren't going to plan. Another is that he used six Pomodori to write the review; that seems like time well spent. Another is that he mentions a few tools that are new to me and that I ought to check out. But there's the rub. There's no point checking them out unless I plan to make some use of them.

I do my monthly reviews OK, although June is delayed until next weekend because I have paid work to finish. Should I publish them, and hold myself publicly accountable? Lots of #indieweb enthusiasts are driven by data-logging themselves and making the results available. I don't think I am, although I can see the benefits of tracking and setting specific goals.

Not exactly sure what Colin Devroe means when he says he's "just going to publish her on my blog". I guess that means he's not interested in people, like me, publishing our comments on our blogs. Of course there's no compulsion to POSSE to be part of the #indieweb, and if you don't want to, you shouldn't. But I hope he'll still accept webmentions.

I've followed Tim Bray via RSS for what seems like forever. And I'm glad he's committed to keep going. I wonder, though, whether he'll see this comment of mine. If not, he needs to embrace at least a part of #indieweb just a little more.

@LukasRosenstock Absolutely. Make it easy to host an indieweb capable domain and business can only grow.

Achievement unlocked (thanks to huge help from the #indieweb community) -- now receiving webmentions at Eat This Podcast. But lots still to be done.

More great advocacy for the #indieweb from @chrisaldrich.

One of the things I have a hard time wrapping my head around is the different ways in which people use different silos. Some, obviously, are different. Like super short-form Twitter. But for the others? Is it just that they want to be where all their contacts are, or is there more to it than that? Heck, I can scarcely decide whether to put things on 10C or pNut or both, so I often don't bother.

On the mothership, could @timharford be the Undercover #Indieweb ber? https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/the-undercover-indiewebber

Do you know anything as #indieweb capable as @withknown out of the box @raretrack ?

Another reason we need to own our data -- because Manton's fourth tip links to a post on app.net that is now, of course, dead and buried ... unless it lives elsewhere. #indieweb

> Now that we are starting to expand greater into generation 2, we need to improve the documentation of the various IndieWeb components to focus less on code and protocols, and more on the end goals.

Amen to that.

Took a long while, working out how best to format and then doing it by hand, but I am now reasonably happy with the look of the noters and highlights brought home from Kindle. As a matter of styling, perhaps the Kindle location of the text could be less prominent, but that's probably gilding the lily.

What I've learned is that it probably pays to take more time when actually highlighting the text and writing the notes. But the clunky Kindle keyboard does one no favours. #indieweb

Well, it has been a long couple of days, but I have created pages to bring my reviews out of Goodreads and my highlights and notes out of Kindle. Still need to do a bit of styling; where there is a note attached to a highlight, it would be good to be able to have them side by side, as it were. Trouble is, the styling that Kindle delivers out of the box does not make that easy. #indieweb

Quick question for Chris Aldrich, which I may be able to answer myself by judicious experimentation: how do you reply to two URLs at once?

Later: well, it isn't by including two URLs in the reply to a site field!

#withknown #indieweb

Marty's summary -- it's hard -- is spot on. I do, however, feel that there's room for both a quick roundup of what's happening in the #indieweb, in the way that Marty has pioneered, and for something a little more discursive. I could easily record interviews with the protagonists over Skype or similar, if they are willing. And if I weren't so geographically isolated here in Rome, I could even try to get to some Indie Web Camps or HWCs and do on the spot recordings.

My feeling is that these kinds of podcasts could help people to embrace and adopt the indieweb. There could also be a role for Q&A type things in the longer podcasts.

Ooh. A new podcast to listen to, which also fits with my growing enthusiasm for #indieweb. And wouldn't it be fun, as @chrisalrich almost suggests, to make a podcast about indieweb. If there's space ...

You mention SoundCloud, which a lot of people, including podcasters, are using. Fine, for them, but more than a silo, SoundCloud is a locked room. I use Huffduffer.com a lot to sample audio and -- even more -- to share what I'm sampling and to see what other people are sharing. A sort of recommendation engine, if you like, though not a very powerful one, I admit. And SoundCloud deliberately makes it hard to share. There are ways around that barrier, of course, but not everyone will want to use them. And so, as ever, by hosting on SoundCloud you may be denying yourself listeners. #indieweb

@matigo Make it so.

I'd say that this would make the whole idea of #indieweb a lot more tenable to a bunch of people in what the gurus call [generations 3 and 4](https://indieweb.org/generations). Maybe even 2, which is where I see myself.

All that stuff and nonsense about having a local development environment and then pushing that out to a production site *via* whatever sync method you can manage to work at any given moment would disappear in a puff of smoke. I'd happily pay for one of those coffee-cup sized servers.

*p.s.* I'm posting this first to my own owned-content, in those that it may encourage you to hook up, although I know you have lots of other things on your mind.
