今度のテーマでは microformats はやめようと思うけど、今構造化データ入れるなら microdata より json-ld なんかな

@robinberjon @jaffathecake To most of the world who doesn't know their history, things like XHR, Dates, microformats, X*L seem LSD inspired

@AntBogarin
@levelsio to rank thin content (like this one) use microformats

[@chromatic_x] @genehack @perigrin Cloudflare misinterpreted the JSON microformat and ate the closing script tag.

tantek: people call many things as microformats so...
#
KartikPrabhu
for instance one of the tweets right above that says "opengraph microformats"

tantek
apparently we picked a good name?
#
tantek
or at least one that really stuck with people?
#
KartikPrabhu
more like people (and language in general) does not care for rigorous nomenclature
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: except some names do better than others
#
tantek
like why microformats is said more than (instead of?) microcontent, microdata, RDFa, JSONLD etc.
#
tantek
(pretty sure the above example of JSON microformat means some form of JSON data island in HTML - possibly even JSONLD)
#
KartikPrabhu
possibly, but that also means that people get confused between real microformats and all the other stuff
#
tantek
sure, but that's ok because when they go to web search for "microformats" it leads them to the right place
#
tantek
so all the errant references to microformats are merely doing free marketing for actual microformats
#
tantek
I think they call that "brand awareness"
#
KartikPrabhu
it does go both ways. "Schema microformats is shit" gives a bad reputation to actual microformats too
#
tantek
I didn't see that - was that in the tweets above?
#
KartikPrabhu
or "no one uses microformats" when they mean microdata
#
KartikPrabhu
no, I am giving a example
#
KartikPrabhu
anyway, people using words wrongly is not a useful thing to discuss ;)
#
tantek
a theoretical example sure, which is outweighed by the actual examples above
#
tantek
if you're trying to make an argument, evidence tends to trump the sides that seem otherwise equal

Is there a way of finding out the percentage or food recipes marked up using #microformats / #richsnippets?

@ARJWright
@BenBajarin making folks speak like machines isn't the aims? Between microformats, wiki-text, etc., one would think companies only see tools
