Replied to: Co-claiming and Gathering Together – Developing Read Write Collect

Thanks for this great piece, Aaron! I really enjoyed reading it and it echoed a lot of my thoughts as I started implementing IndieWeb technologies into my site early this year.

It started that I had begun blogging and wanted to make sure my stuff was readable using microformats. Then I got interested in posting my microblog posts instead of twitter. Then I started tracking what I watched, what I ate, and the journey has just carried on.

The interesting thing I’ve noticed is two things: First, as you said, thoughts are much more helpful than in Twitter because you are more thoughtful about them. Second, it’s interesting how things that initially might interest you can change over time and having a website allows you to own that change in mind and adapt as you see fit!
