Last week in Boston we were discussing Pingerati and "how do you find microformats" (in general). One passing idea I had was that search engines should supply a CSS element selector. So for example, to find Tantek's hCard we could search "tantek css:vcard". Neatly, this shows one of the great benefits of microformats -- by working in HTML data world, we gain the benefits of existing tools but still work with data.
there was a discussion awhile ago on the list serv about ALEXA doing CSS searches[1]. It was after you downloaded and paided for the search data. They were doing a quick string search for 'vcard' to quickly reduce the sample set. Then they were attempting to parse out the hCards. Very interest idea! -brian [1] - http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2006-November/007299.html -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
