KartikPrabhu this is getting out of hand here

#
aaronpk what is ogoing on
#
aaronpk wow it actually is legitimately about hReview
#
tantek it is - however, there's a lot of hReview spam that's about selling a plugin for "SEO" purposes just to try to trick Google into showing your blog posts as being 5 star reviews of something - anything - so people click on them
#
aaronpk the sign of success
#
aaronpk :P
#
tantek sorta - a sign of what happens when you highlight mostly one type of "data" in search results
#
tantek as opposed to - actually building a reviews search engine that indexed the results
#
tantek and then pulling intelligently from *that* to surface actual reviews, rather than spam marked up as hReview
#
KartikPrabhu tantek: as a curiosity - has Google/Bing/others shown any interest in parsing microformats?
#
KartikPrabhu I know Google parses rdfa and microdata
#
KartikPrabhu or at least has some sort of "rich snippet" thingie using those
#
tantek KartikPrabhu: they parsed microformats before anything else
#
tantek to make rich snippets
#
tantek it's amazing that this stuff has been miscommunicated so badly over time

#
tantek they launched support for microformats, and supposedly RDFa (except that no one had gotten it working) at the same time in 2009.
#
tantek microdata was only added in 2011
#
tantek for more see: http://microformats.org/wiki/search
#
KartikPrabhu oh! didn't know that...
Exploter joined the channel
#
tantek much like the indiewebcamp wiki, there's a lot on the microformats wiki :)
#
tantek you can find out about most topics or companies support by just going to /wiki/topicname
#
KartikPrabhu tantek: yes realising that :) also all the Google stuff seems to be mf1 no mf2
#
tantek we have no evidence of uf2 support yet - however they have made friendly noises
#
tantek and over time have shown added support for formats as they get adopted
#
tantek e.g. hMedia and hAtom
#
KartikPrabhu ok that seem good :) now that microdata has been abandoned or something
#
tantek it's a reasonable assumption that they mostly just follow a metrics based approach
#
tantek to parsing new stuff out there
#
KartikPrabhu also a reasonable approach for such a huge comapny
#
tantek well microformats2 is basically the most modern approach to this stuff, having incorporated lessons from microdata and rdfa
#
tantek and no one really cares about maintaining/improving either of the latter any more
#
tantek Google's support of various things on the web is a lagging indicator
#
KartikPrabhu except us academics ;)
