Microformats

What are microformats?

Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards. Instead of throwing away what works today, microformats intend to solve simpler problems first by adapting to current behaviors and usage patterns (e.g. XHTML, blogging).

I was researching about hCalendar format for a prospective project and hit upon Microformats! It’s quite cool to add microformats to your RSS feeds!
