Hmm, this sounds to me like a theoretical argument. I'd like to
hear what experience people have had here. Has anyone here worked
on crawling to index microformats? If so, what challenges did you
face?
Yes. The two I know of are reevoo, which aggregates hreviews:
http://www.reevoo.com/
and my own effort, which aggregates hcards, hcalendars, and hreviews:
http://randomchaos.com/microformats/base/
My main challenges have been a lack of space to store the data (which
has nothing to do with microformats) and the the lack of a parser
that can read invalid X(HT)ML (which is only an issue because I
haven't installed Tidy on my server). If microformat site maps
existed, I would use them as starting points to know where to look,
but I wouldn't trust them as any sort of accurate listing of what's
on a domain just because I know I would likely forget to update my
own if I had one. So I'd still be reading the same number of
documents, just in a different order.
Peace,
Scott
