Viewing Microformats with Operator
I installed the Operator plugin for Firefox a few hours ago, and have been wandering about the web seeing what places have embedded microformats (not many). There’s a blog post that describes better than I could, but I’ll give it a go: it’s an interesting idea — basically it adds a toolbar that lets you do things with the little chunks of information embedded in microformats on the page you’re looking at — storing contacts, resumes, geolocations; that sort of thing.
Microformats seem to be catching on, I’m not sure they’ll totally change the face of the internet. For certain types of information though, they are pretty effective. I’ve already got XFN happening here, I need to add a few more things I think.
