Microformats

Last night I had the oppor­tu­nity to talk about Micro­for­mats at the Novem­ber Refre­shAu­gusta meet­ing. To sup­port the slides, I cre­ated a microsite with links to all of the sites men­tioned in the slides. Hope­fully you’ll find this use­ful. I’m also mak­ing the slides avail­able for you to reuse/repurpose/remix under a Cre­ative Com­mons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License:

    The microsite looks great.

    If inter­ested, here’s my pre­sen­ta­tion for Refresh­Mi­ami.

      Thanks! :) I really dug how you had your pre­sen­ta­tion setup in browser. I had com­pletely for­got­ten about S5. May need to use it for future pre­sen­ta­tions, or at least pro­vide a for­mat that uti­lizes it.

    Ya know, I used to be all about Micro­for­mats. I still think they’re uber cool but I won­der if the future will prove them to be worth­while. It all comes down to what ser­vices adopt them and how they’re used.

      You’re absolutely right. I think it’ll be a long time until they become main­stream. The aver­age Joe wouldn’t know to install Tails Export or Oomph or Oper­a­tor to work with micro­for­mat­ted data, much less know what micro­for­mats are at all. Until browsers incor­po­rate easy-to-use ways to find and use micro­for­mat­ted data, it’ll remain a “toy” of the digerati.
