Microformats are really cool. Small snippets of code that semantically describe various information included in any published text on the web. It’s not visible information for end-users but rather metadata that can be crawled and parsed by search engines or extracted by other means, like browser add-ons. While microformats are rather simple – even I understand most of them – there might be use cases where coders unfamiliar with them run into problems, have questions about proper implementatio

Luego de una muy infructuosa y frustrante búsqueda en todos los foros relacionados con Wordpress, XFN y otros microformatos, me fue imposible encontrar un plug-in o pieza de código para hacer esto que voy a explicar. Así que me metí al código de Wordpress 2.8.4 y encontré mi propia solución. No sé si es la mejor, pero está funcionando y la comparto por si a alguien le sirve de algo. Desde algunas versiones anteriores de Wordpress, se incorporó la funcionalidad para agregar etiquetas XFN (etiqu
You probably all have noticed that Google is displaying more and more rich snippets in its SERPs. These snippets include various information such as number of reviews, rating, price range, author, format, etc. These rich snippets are made possible thanks to two major open standards called Microformats and RDFa that are now supported by the major search engines. In that matter, Yahoo has been leading the way since 2006, and we had to wait until May 2009 for Google to start supporting them.
Google Tech Talk June 19, 2009 ABSTRACT Beyond Web 2.0 — How RDFa Can Help to Democratise Data on the Web. Presented by Mark Birbeck. Publishing to the web has never been easier, with the proliferation of content management systems, online blogging platforms, microblogging, and more. However, publishing data is either the preserve of organizations prepared to manage their own IT, or requires individuals to sign up for one web 2.0 service after another. RDFa provides a straightforward means …

Esse artigo foi publicado originalmente na Revista TIDigital de Abril de 2009. A utilização de tabelas no desenvolvimento web foi um marco na história. Pode ser estranho falar isso, mas a verdade é que antes das tabelas os sites eram feios. As tabelas possibilitaram a criação de sites com 3 colunas. Você pode estar pensando que isso não é grande coisa. Mas em meados de 1996-97 isso era nirvana do design para web. As tabelas possibilitaram uma nova realidade para os designers. Foi uma mão na
Most of us have profiles on a wide variety of services these days. Thankfully, most of these profiles are available in machine-readable microformats like hCard or XFN (XHTML Friends Network). For developers, Google’s Social Graph API makes discovering these profiles easier, though this is still a relatively complicated process. Now, however, Ident Engine , a new open-source JavaScript library that finds and aggregates user profiles and related activity streams, makes this process a lot eas
Google Maps, local search engines, internet yellow pages and other online business directories often receive biz listing info from a great many sources and must merge it together (see my description of this in Eric Enge’s interview with me ). When this happens, loads of variations in the business’s name, address and even phone number can cause listing data to fail to be merged. All this makes me think we might need a “Canonical Tag” for phone numbers! Read on, and I’ll elaborate… Some busine
Some of the best things in life happen when you least expect them. Suddenly they are right here and you’re happy.

Needless to say, the tweet by Ma.gnolia founder Larry Halff got me really excited. I don’t want to recap the reasons why Ma.gnolia went offline earlier this year. Instead head over to CrunchGear

Finally, a big win for the Semantic Web.

You (hopefully) remember a few posts on SEOgadget discussing HTML5 and the impact that structured data will have on SEO , and if you do, you’ll remember me banging on about my hcard implemention too.

While the overall announcement and news registry system was widely ridiculed in the blogosphere (in part because of

So what about THE BEACON? When The Associated Press said last month that it was building a “news registry” of AP content, most reaction focused on the so-called “ tracking beacon ” that will monitor usage across the web. I use quotation marks because, well, those are metaphors for technology that’s still in development: The AP document we’ve obtained says the registry, set to launch on Nov. 15, will “require capabilities not currently available.” But there’s nothing particularly magic
One of the nice things about hMedia is that it spans multiple media, specifically audio, video, and images, which is what people produce and consume on the web. This fact makes it attractive and we think it has good chances for widespread adoption. One of the nice aspects of hMedia is how it plays well with others. As an example, hMedia can be used in combination with other microformats such as hReview or hEvents, for instance in the case of a review of a particular song or a video of an event.
In an exclusive nine-part dialogue with an imaginary eBay Architect , we present an accessible discussion of the REST vs. SOA issue.

by Chris Silver Smith Periodically, someone will launch a new, specialized Top Level Domain (”TLD”), claiming it’s the next big thing on the net.

Such is likely to be the case with the .TEL top level

Manu Sporny und die RDFa Task Force haben es doch noch geschafft, Ian Hickson davon zu überzeugen RDFa in HTML5 zu integrieren und es gibt auch schon einen ersten Editors Draft von HTML5+RDFa . Besonders spannend finde ich folgenden Abschnitt aus Manu Spornys Blogpost zu dem neuen Draft : I specifically did not remove the Microdata section from the HTML5+RDFa specification because it provides competition for RDFa – competition is a good thing. It forces the RDFa Task Force to re-th

A agência de notícias Associated Press passou a trabalhar com o conceito de crowdsourcing , mas o que realmente chamou a atenção, neste final de semana, foi a proposta que ela fez da utilização por todos os sites de um padrão comum de microformats feito especialmente para notícias . O papo é meio técnico, mas seria como se uma matéria, um artigo, trafegasse pela rede com uma etiqueta. Etiqueta que só pudesse ser lida por robôs indexadores, por computadores. Nessa etiqueta estariam inform

If I owned my online identity by being my own identity provider, theoretically I could choose to have a 1-to-1 relationship with brands I trust. I could cut out the middle man or Slash Daddy (as I’ve called Google and Facebook before) and have a real relationship with a companies I believe in. Think of it as “friending” brands. If they abuse my trust, I cut them off my trusted list. There are a few brands that I’d gladly display on my blog without any compensation because I believe in them

I didn’t intend talking about this, I’ve mentioned it before . I intended talking about something else, but since this is an integral part of that something else, I’ll talk about that another time. The best tool for utilising microformats , is the Operator add-on. Other people have tried creating tools for other browsers, but for minimal pain and quick results the Firefox/Operator combo is still the best. After installing the add-on you will notice a new toolbar. Many web pages fail t
I can't believe it is July already. Which means I've been writing my book for three months now. That's even more astounding to me than how quickly those past three months have flown by. July 1 also means that I have under two months to finish said book. While I would've figured that would have me even more stressed than I've been, I'm actually just relieved. It is almost over. I can do anything for seven weeks. You may be sensing that my book writing experience hasn

July 1st, 2009 Goto commentsLeave a comment I just noticed that Wordpress comments are marked as “rel=external nofollow”. I got curious as to what that meant for SEO, as a tactic for SEO’s (and for spammers) has commonly been to deluge blogs with comments, hoping to thereby increase link popularity. The best explanation I’ve found for this is on the Microformats Wiki, which explains the subtle differences between “nofollow”, “external” and the other “rel=” attributes. In terms of what actual
