NotesBut what if a badge were just a Web page, formatted in a consistent way that made it easy for machines to read? What if issuing a badge was as easy as filling out a form, copying out a resulting HTML snippet and pasting it into your blog or website?Unfurl
Notes"Without much conscious thought, most of us have built identities across the web. We've filled in profiles, uploaded photos, videos, reviews and bookmarks. The Ident Engine uses semantic web API’s to bring together these web footprints."Unfurl
Notes"Anyway, here’s the question I want to put into the reader’s mind: should one spend time and effort making a frontend into an informal API through microformats, or to instead spend it on building a fully supported API or data publishing system that exists and operates separately? I think my stance is clear - i’m not against the theory of microformats, but i’m certainly going to differ with anyone who thinks it’s practical."Unfurl

Notes"a generic microformats parser for JavaScript. Yes, there are a few things about but they all tend to be tied to a single format and I wanted to build a framework that would allow any microformat to be defined using a JSON-like definition so it could be uUnfurl
Notes"Is there a Ficlets API? A Ficlets web service? No. Yet, the very construction of the pages creates an API, that can be queried and read, "scraped" if you will... But scraped with a difference."Unfurl
Notes"XSLT has always amazed me. And to see that it can be used to scrape Ficlets.com -- which indeed was intentionally designed to enable its web pages to be an API -- makes me realize that XSLT could become an incredibly valuable tool in the Web's future."Unfurl
Notes"What we need is not only a way to prefill social networking information, but also to dynamically and automatically transfer data between systems."Unfurl
Notes"These feeds are bare-bones Microformatted html documents with support for looking at our bookmarks in several different ways: as plain bookmarks in xFolk, as blog entries in hAtom, as reviews in hReview, and as all of the above combined."Unfurl
Notes"Remember when everyone realized that HTTP was really good at what it did and since we already knew it, we should just use it and stop going crazy with proprietary / complex / lesser known protocols?"Unfurl
Notes"The Tails Firefox Extension allows you to view microformats embedded on a web page, and perform customizable actions on the microformats via Tails Scripts."Unfurl
Notes"Given the source code that I’ve been provided, I can confirm that Apple has indeed added support for hCard in .Mac webmail, though not without a few errors (notably the ‘n’ optmization)."Unfurl
Notes"xFolk is a simple and open format for publishing collections of bookmarks. It better enables services for improving user experience and sharing data in web-based bookmarking software."FeedUnfurl
Notes"During all this recent excitement about using hAtom to generate feeds, I’d forgotten that I wrote about the concept nearly three years ago when I was getting ready to talk about syndication at Seybold SF."Unfurl
Notes"The Sandbox is a theme for themers. It has the ability to be easily skinned... More experienced themers will drool at the rich semantic markup and profusion of classes, dynamically generated by a few functions."Unfurl
Notes"You just see, "Oh, it's got a picture," "It's got a contact," "It's got an event," and those somehow indicate that you can copy and paste them as an entirety into another web site or another desktop application."Unfurl
Notes"Starting today, we're happy to announce Yahoo! Local fully supports the hCalendar, hCard, and hReview microformats on almost all business listings, search results, events, and reviews."Unfurl
Notes"don't let microformat markup (or semantically rich markup in general) scare you off from turning that structure into something visually attractive."Unfurl
Notes"The microformats + RSS + clipboard (mRc) combo isn't just about copy and pasting static structured data into microformat-aware webpages and clients (though this on its own would pretty powerful stuff)."Unfurl
Notes"The future of structured content in my opinion is content tunnelled inside human readable content. *Not* machine readable content that can be converted/published for human readability."Unfurl
