Support microformats
If you like your current theme and want to stick with it, use:
 * Plugin: WordPress-uf2

Or if you're ok with switching to a new theme:
 * SemPress - good microformatted theme - it's a whole theme

Itches
General consensus from Scott and Dan that getting Twitter feedback on to your own site is strongly desired.

Darius - Want flexibility of using different systems, but have everything then centered back in my own site.

Bridgy with manual POSSE to Twitter
Scott: I want to write blog posts on my own site, then manually do a tweet that links to my blog post, then get feedback to that tweet automatically shown on my blog post.

Desired user-flow: 1. Publish a blog post on my indieweb site 2. Write a tweet manually that links to that post 3. Have favorites/retweets/@-replies to that tweet automatically show up on my blog post

Jetpack supports auto-POSSE to Twitter, Facebook and Google+

Also, some of the community are developing The indieWeb version of Jetpack. https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-indieweb

Automatic Tweeting of Blog Posts
Desired user-flow: 1. Publish a blog post on my indieweb site 2. Have a tweet automatically happen that links to that blog post

Example:
 * https://twitter.com/dangillmor/status/442114320885743617
 * Using WordPress JetPack Plugin and "Publicize" module, and turned on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ (apparently through a bizdev deal between wp.com and Google!)

Have replies to tweets of a post show up on post
Desired user-flow: 1. Someone else @-replies one of my tweets that links to my blog post 2. A comment automatically show up on that blog post of that @-reply

Using WordPress "IndieWeb" plugin.
