   @natecull @chrisaldrich I think you're supposed to have implemented at least IndieAuth, h-card, Atom and WebMention on your web site for it to make any sense to call it an IndieWeb site rather than just, you know, a page with an Atom feed.

      @chrisaldrich @natecull I feel that the IndieWeb movement is a response to all this OStatusing and Diasporaing and a bunch of bloggers going "OMG you NIH-afflicted people we already have like 75% of this", and proceeding to implement the remaining 25%.
      
      And yeah, in particular with OStatus there's a big overlap of technologies, but IW has a strong KISS focus, where all this "following" and other twittery facebooky stuff is considered overkill when you can just add a feed to your feed reader. And everything is supposed to be Plain Old Web Pages with microformats, none of this XML and JSON stuff if it can be helped (but do use it where it makes sense).

      @clacke @natecull In short, I think of IndieWeb as a buffet instead of a religion: you can pick and choose the parts you'd like to have or support, but no one is forcing you to do anything you don't want to do. :)

      @clacke @natecull That's actually even overreaching, based on current community thinking. If you own your own domain and have a website, you've got an "IndieWeb site".

      Of course if you can support microformats like h-card and rel="me" you can do a lot more. There are enough parsers in several languages that would allow your site to work with several feed readers without having side files like RSS/Atom just by supporting POSH (plain old semantic html) with h-feed/h-entry microformats.
