Lucas' roundup of Microformats

Lucas' roundup of Microformats 04/09/2005 05:50 PM

Lucas Gonze has an excellent roundup of a bunch of opnions regarding the hottest religion around "the lower case semantic web".

It's not that I'm skeptical about all these new tags and what not (in fact we're probably gonna support ALL of them enthusiastically) it's just that I'm a grizzly old wisened software guy who recognizes a cult when I see it.

I'll tell yah a story from SXSW.

So all the interactive geeks were shunted down the hall, in a corner of the convention area. And as we all were leaving one day - there was a table set up with "all of them" (at least the ones in Austin) having a meeting.

I think they call their group GMPG (though I'm not sure what's multimedia about it) and they LITERALLY I swear to you - yelled at us as we walked by "THIS IS A PRIVATE MEETING - YOU CANNOT ATTEND".

I thought that was cute. Very nice and cordial I'd say. I'm sure it was pointed at me - but some of the other folks with me caught the breeze to - a stiff one.

Well anyway - Technorati is putting it's full weight behind all this and god bless them. I sure hope soemthing comes of all this - but it is kind of silly to refute files as a way to store profiles or to absolutely insist that everything has to be in the URL. I wonder if they admit that schemas need to exist?

One of Eric Meyer's slides admitted they needed to "work with servers" as a future feature.

Yah - uh huh - working with servers might be a good thing to support.
