We expect to crawl more often soon; one thing that you can do is use the test parser as described here: http://groups.google.com/group/social-graph-api/browse_thread/thread/c2deffae0bba09dc and here: http://code.google.com/apis/socialgraph/docs/testparse.html to parse pages that are missing from the index (though I wouldn't recommend doing this for huge numbers of pages, it coudl help as a stopgap, and also as a way to validate your own local parsing. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
