A reason to go Micro

June 2, 2006 in lopico, microformats by JDA

Technorati has just released a microformats search and it couldn’t have come at a better time for me.  As I am rewriting Lopico I’ve decided to implement some microformats (I won’t say which but it should be fairly obvious).  I was planning on doing this despite not really being sold on the benefit of microformats.  The potential was always there, but I really think that the people behind microformats have done a fairly bad job of selling the concept.   I listened to a podcast not long ago with Tantek Celik and Dan Rohit, and it was sort of a waste of my time.  They talked more about organizing soccer practices with microformats than they did anything else. But now with the new Technorati microformats search the reality of it is starting to become more tangible. Hopefully, Technorati won’t be the only place where microformats are put to use.
