I like this post from Marty McGuire about the IndieWeb and how the indieweb.org wiki can sometimes be overwhelming for new users:

That’s because indieweb.org is not a presciption or a cookbook or an exercise plan. It doesn’t tell you how to “be IndieWeb”. It’s a collective memory of experiments, some successful and some not, from a group of experimenters that has changed greatly over time.

Also some nice words for Micro.blog in there. The wiki is an incredible resource, but just start with your own web site and don’t worry about the rest unless you want to dig deeper.

this is a great post and contains a lot of points I made in an email exchange with one such author of a “mad at Indieweb” post.

Interesting. I have to admit I’ve been frustrated perusing IndieWeb websites. I find it confusing, even when practicing some of its principles.
