I’ve mentioned it a couple of times already but in some pretty peculiar circumstances and I wanted to return to Brendan Schlagel on “weaving a public web” for one particular part of what he says.

Of course this looseness and fragmentary nature makes some things hard: discovery, updates, dialogue / replies. Some of my initial flavors of uncertainty — who will see this? how will it land? might it endure? — are a challenge no matter the platform.

This is among the many reasons why we need a new Technorati of some kind as part of this resurgence of interest in blogging and other more independent means of interacting rather than indicating, expression rather than excitation.

But to that very point, any new Technorati-style site itself needs to not be designed to gamify the indieweb. and not become an echo chamber of the same voices over and over again.
