Recapping my time at IndieWebCamp Amsterdam, my first 'official' IndieWeb event, and meeting some of the big names in the community.
Right now I don't have reliable syndication (I like that word more than cryptic POSSE), so I can't post Tweets from my own site. This is bad! But it means I have room for improvement.
This makes my #itches list look like this:

Clicking through the attendee list from IndieWebCamp Amsterdam, there’s so much variety in people’s web sites. We are so used to the same old mainstream sites that it’s almost a surprise to discover a blog that looks completely different.
A list of participants of the Amsterdam IndieWebCamp last weekend is available, with the links to their website. Perhaps you’ll find some interesting sites to add to your feedreader.

Reminder that there’s an IndieWeb Meetup tonight. Mozart’s Coffee at 6:30pm. Hope to see you there! ☕
Some reminiscing at a recent Homebrew Website Club prompted James to organise a Brighton bloggers meetup …ten years on from the last one!
Mark your calendar: October 21st.
While you’re making your calendar, be sure to put in the dates for Indie Web Camp Brighton: October 19th and 20th. It would be lovely see some Brighton bloggers there!
Fellow #ViewSourceConf attendees: as announced on the excellent standards panel, there’ll be an Indie Web Camp in Brighton, England on October 19th and 20th—you should come!
IndieWeb Meetup this Wednesday, 6:30pm at Mozart’s Coffee in Austin. Grab a coffee or smoothie and chat about the open web or work on your own web site. I’ll recap sessions from IndieWebCamp Amsterdam. ☕
I set up a couple of channels, one for people I tend to interact with a lot, one for people I loosely follow. Both a combo of IndieWeb, Mastodon, Twitter and RSS feeds, mostly of actual real people. The other stuff I haven’t moved yet and is mostly institutional feeds.
When I get a social media urge, I’ll check the first two groups. If empty, I’ll maybe check the rest, or read an article, or just do something else.
The best part is avoiding anything that has an endless stream of fairly random (but tantalisingly, possibly interesting) stuff. As Ton points out, anything *really* worthwhile will invariably end up in a feed in one of the first two groups sooner or later. I’m feeling more intentional, less flighty of attention.
