Jeffrey Zeldman does an excellent job of indicating why and what is wrong with the internet and social media and points to IndieWeb.org as a way forward.

☛ How did let our beautiful WWW turn into a garbage fire of lies, hate, and privacy violations? I have some thoughts.

If you’re personally using WordPress as a possible solution to those problems, I’m happy to help point to some quicker ways for people to rapidly implement them without struggling as much as many others have along the way.
(If WordPress isn’t your thing, the wiki has a plethora of other pathways depending on your CMS or programming language of choice–just search. It is abundantly clear that no single CMS is going to dig us out of the hole.)
I’ve written about and documented how I’ve gotten a lot of IndieWeb related technologies running on my own website. In many cases, these solutions are simple plugin downloads and activations, though it helps to have an idea of what they all do and how they may help.
I was particularly impressed with Brent Simmons’ post yesterday explaining how he was using his particular talents to further the cause. Though some may feel overwhelmed at the apparent size and scope of the problem, many diverse hands chipping away at small pieces can help to make a major dent in the problem.
Jen Simmons has indicated a useful paradigm structured around making resolutions with simple concrete steps and deadlines.

Ok, here’s the deal. Tweet your personal website plan with the hashtag #newwwyear (thanks @jamiemchale!):
1) When will you start?
2) What will you try to accomplish?
3) When is your deadline?
Improve an existing site. Start a new one. Burn one down & start over. It’s up to you.

I have no doubt that even if you’re not a developer or programmer that you can help. If you’re not sure, ask me or others how.
I hope you’ll join us. Let’s roll up our sleeves and #​LetsFixThis.
