RE: [uf-discuss] Open microblogging and microformats
Hi Sarven I have taken some time to go through http://identi.ca and have to say that it has one of the best implementations of microformats in a social media site. Although many social media sites now add microformats, they all tend to have a few problems or miss out bits of semantic content that could be marked up. Their formal API's often contain data structures, that have just not been mark-uped with microformats in the HTML. The microformats coverage in identi.ca is so complete I would say you have achieved a full read-only API that is embedded into your pages. If you added OAuth support for secured web pages, I could build applications against your site without asking for passwords or needing a separate API. That would be an great example of the power microformats !

RE: [uf-discuss] hProduct draft now available
Yes -- the "category" attribute was included to define product types. In most examples listed on the hproduct-examples page [1], these would appear in the "breadcrumbs", similar to this example snippet: Home Hardware Fasteners Screws Drywall Screws [1] http://microformats.org/wiki/hproduct-examples Thanks, Jay Jay Myers http://jay.beweep.com (twitter) @jaymyers (skype) jaymmyers -Original Message- From: microformats-discuss-boun...@microformats.org [mailto:microformats-discuss-boun...@microformats.org] On Behalf Of David Janes Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 12:25 PM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] hProduct draft now available On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 3:55 PM, Myers, Jay wrote: > > Microformateers, > > After several months of diligent work, I'm happy to announce the draft > spec of the hProduct microformat, linked from the front page of the > wiki.

That's really great to hear, thank you! We are working on OAuth right now and we'll have something ready for the next laconica release. All but email is already visible on the site, so you can read them without the need of OAuth. Write with OAuth will follow soon. If you have any specific questions, you can join us in #laconica (Zach Copley can answer OAuth questions better than I can) on IRC freenode or look into http://laconi.ca I hope this helps. -Sarven ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
