I'm a bit confused by the goal. I'm on site A. I want to use YQL to get the microformatted information from site B. What can I do on site A with that data? Is that what you are asking?
Or site A has microformatted data, what can I use YQL to do with that data. Here's an idea. I have a web site: paris.insiderfood.com. I do a search for something like: http://paris.insidefood.com/chez+prosper.html The results listed from http://parisvegetarian.com have microformatted hcards. So, can I grab those hcard details and generate a link in the result that pops up a yahoo map? Here's another idea I go to a blog that has a blogroll marked up in xfn. Could I use YQL to follow those people and grab their information and create links to the twitter, flickr, hcard, etc details? This could be helpful as a firefox plugin to explore a blogger's contacts. Does that help?

This means you can get microformat data from web sites returned as JSON or XML and you have a SQL-style language to filter and collate: http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2009/01/yql_with_microformats.html What I now need is some good examples, I thought of a script to allow detection of hcard info to fill out forms automatically in straight JavaScript. any other good ideas? cheers Chris _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
