We've written a good deal about Microformats and now they're are beginning to show up all over the web. Microformats will likely be an essential element of the open social web and already the Tails and Operator add-ons for Firefox allow you leverage microformats for easy address collecting and more.But for many people Microformats remain a vague and nebulous idea - yes, there's these standard formats for marking up addresses and stuff, but what can I do with them?In fact, Alex Russell commented on yesterday's piece about the future of web standards saying, "trying to encourage adoption of conventions only improves things marginally or in orthogonal ways ... without something like Operator, Microformats are just tasty nuggets for search engines to chew on."
