Session post<\/a><\/p>\n

Started at 2003 SXSW – XFN was created (Matt Mullenweg, Eric Meyers etc.)<\/p>\n

2005 www.Microformats.org <\/a><\/p>\n

Many (mainstream) sites now use microformats – Stanford uses hcard and hcal<\/p>\n

Firefox operator extension<\/a> a nice tool to get microformat information out of a site and see available microformated data in a site.
\nbreak out microformatted data to calendar or location to gmaps or addressbook etc.<\/p>\n

Linkedin<\/a> uses hresume format along w\/hcard etc. allows you to break information out of a page and use elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Backnetwork is about showing information (xfn) friends network. It takes conference data out to microformats
\naggregates reviews etc.<\/p>\n

One can also use to bring id’s for social networks profile info<\/p>\n

All the current microformats have been created by an open community – they don’t end up with 1000’s because much research is done (by individual and community) when created a new format. The process for submitting on the web is necessary to see that something doesn’t already exist somewhere else or that it is needed.<\/p>\n

Questions<\/strong>
\nAre there any microformats searches?
\nhttp:\/\/kitchen.technorati.com<\/a>
\nhttp;\/\/www.edgio.com<\/a> (search & list\/host, hlist)
\nAlexa is also caching hcard information found on sites<\/p>\n

What about using microformats on a mobile device?
\nTreo handles via “add to addressbook”
\nTails (plugin) sends via bluetooth<\/p>\n

Accessibility issues with Microformats? Licensing?
\nthere are some accessibility issues – more info here<\/a>
\nworking on a rellicense format (underway)<\/p>\n

OpenID vs. hcard?
\nOpenID is more to claim a URL, hcard is more for profile info. There was talk of bringing together in OpenID 2.0, but another profile format isn’t necessary.<\/p>\n

What does it take to get microformats on a site?
\nDrew McCleland has a DreamWeaver plugin
\nthey are easy to create – plenty of tools available<\/p>\n

What about spam when using microformats?
\nexpose email only through microformat – use the same tools [at] to hid email addresses.
\nyou’re only adding semantic info to already existing content – no different than what you have on your site already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
