Kudos, Scott! The best revenge is a happy life, but second-best (or
perhaps the first step to that) is working code. :-)

I thought I'd go ahead and play around with a microformat-based
alternative to Google Base. So far, I have a basic spider that I set
loose from microformats.org to slowly wander the web. When it finds
any known microformat-associated class names, it records the data
which can then be searched here:
http://www.randomchaos.com/microformats/base/
Or via URL like so:

Uh, WOW.
This is VERY cool.
It's currently only looking for hcard and hcalendar class names.
Consider adding hReview as well!
The spider can be invoked on a site manually like so:
http://www.randomchaos.com/microformats/base/spider/?url=http://
domain.com/path/to/microformat/
All open source [1][2][3][4] if anyone wants to play with it. It's
pretty basic right now, but I'd be interested in any feedback you all
have.
Well done Scott.
Definitely add it to the "Implementations" sections on the specs
for hCard
and hCalendar and for sure on the implementations page
