@wspr It looks like delicious is slowly coming back, so maybe salvageable? For the future I only bookmark on my own site now. #indieweb

Perhaps an #IndieWeb itch for next year: Creating end-of-the year infographics for my own site using my own data. http://boffosocko.com/2016/12/14/goodreads-year-in-review-2016

julzybee73 If you're interested in apps for researchers, teachers, and students, you might also consider looking at additional apps like Diigo, Mendeley, and hypothes.is (for highlights and annotations). For bookmarking sites, there's a pretty good list here: https://indieweb.org/read_later. I've written a bit about how I use my personal blog to do some of this workflow here: http://boffosocko.com/2016/08/22/a-new-reading-post-type-for-bookmarking-and-reading-workflow/

The IndieWeb plugin does have quite a few related plugins which all interact well, but you don't necessarily need them all. You can obviously pick and choose based on the specific functionality you'd like to have. Their modularity helps to make understanding what sets of functionality each piece provides a lot easier.

In particular the two that will recreate most of the requested functionality of wp-social above are [Webmention ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/)and [Semantic Linkbacks](https://wordpress.org/plugins/semantic-linkbacks/). These provide an endpoint that Bridgy can target to send your comments and likes from other social media sites. To my knowledge, they don't require any settings or set up other than uploading and activation.

The other sub-plugins within the larger IndieWeb suite add supplementary functionality if you want/need it. This also helps to cut down on code bloat which can slow your site down. In fact, if you only want a few in the suite, you can install them separately from the larger plugin. The others also help to not only extend functionality, but to better automate portions of it.

They are all also are being actively developed/supported on GitHub.

@zack06007 It looks to me like this plugin isn't being actively maintained and I don't even see it in the main WordPress.org repository anymore. It's also possible that with the recent WP 4.7 update some of the functionalities have broken further. The last commit to the code was almost a year and a half ago with the bulk of the code being even older.

If you'd like to maintain a lot of this functionality in a better way with some smaller discrete plugins I would recommend the following:
- [**JetPack** ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/)or [**Social Media Network Poster**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/) for syndicating/sharing your content to Facebook, Twitter, et al. JetPack is simpler to set up, but SNAP provides a lot more customization and has some good documentation.
- [**IndiwWeb Plugin for WordPress**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb/) - This will allow you to add some sub-plugins like Webmention and some simple comment plugins which will let your comments/likes/etc. come back to your pages and posts. The Syndication Links plugin within the IndieWeb plugin will allow you to easily display which services you syndicated individual content.
- [**Brid.gy**](http://brid.gy) - Connecting to this free service will give you comments, likes, and reactions from major social hubs like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, G+, and Flicker to come back to your original content in a pretty way. It is expandable to other platforms if you'd like to contribute to the code base. Bridgy uses their open APIs to bootstrap the new W3C Webmention spec to send the comments back to your site using the Webmention plugin within the IndieWeb Plugin mentioned above. Webmention is essentially an internet wide @mention functionality much like Twitter and Medium have.

If you need more help in setting these up or using them, feel free to visit http://indieweb.org/WordPress which has lots of documentation or ask in the [IndieWeb chat](http://indieweb.org/irc) where someone can help point you in the right direction.
