strugee hey, just noticed a ping from #microformats in my server buffer saying logs are available at http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/microformats? i.e. a *third* location?
#
strugee is that possibly out of date? I get Forbidden when visiting it anyway
#
aaronpk That’s one of the original logs

#
strugee aaronpk: makes sense
#
strugee should maybe be changed though since there are now two others and it's down anyway

@mirisuzanne Anyone else still use microformats? Am I way out of date? (twitter.com/_/status/918245153319587840)
#
aaronpk ? https://twitter.com/anotheruiguy/status/918245920101187589
#
Loqi [@anotheruiguy] @mirisuzanne yes, they are still a thing. If they are being used or not … I find that to be a case-by-case basis. Docs haven’t been updated in YEARS!
#
tantek heh - wonder which docs to start with
#
KartikPrabhu first confirm whether they mean microformats microformats or the generic word "mircroformats"
#
@aaronpk @anotheruiguy which docs were you looking at? There's been lots of updates in the last few years, e.g. https://microformats.io (twitter.com/_/status/918247107810639872)
#
@anotheruiguy @mirisuzanne I did. But not that much. I rarely work with systems where I have that much control over the content. Used hCalendar maybe once. (twitter.com/_/status/918247220406755328)
#
aaronpk anyone else want to chime in on the thread?
#
aaronpk http://twtr.io/1X70hDTZjjv
#
Loqi [@anotheruiguy] @aaronpk Most of the docs around the spec were written on 2010. This link is a new doc, but the info is no different.
#
KartikPrabhu so does the info need to change if the spec hasn't changed much?

#
aaronpk Meh, microformats for SEO isn’t a very interesting conversation
#
tantek oh is that what is ? I hoped for more from an anotheruiguy
#
tantek KartikPrabhu: and no it does not
#
tantek also that's what happens to good and adopted specs, they stabilize and are interoperable over long periods of time
#
tantek for someone looking for "the latest docs", microformats2, h-entry, microformats2-parsing etc. is the place to point them
#
tantek hmm I wonder why we didn't see this https://twitter.com/anotheruiguy/status/918248251572154368 too many false positives for hCard?
#
Loqi [@anotheruiguy] @aaronpk Google supports hCard, so if you have a lot of calendar data, I would recommend using it for SEO purposes.
#
tantek also - aaronpk, microformats.io is not from 2010, it's all modern mf2 parsers and publishing and stuff
#
tantek so the point that "the info is no different" is false

@microformats @anotheruiguy @aaronpk everything there's new #microformats2, @MastodonProject, @IndieWebCamp, @microdotblog, #OSS, #JSON. Looking for something in particular? ^@t (twitter.com/_/status/918256088075485184)
#
tantek aaronpk, interesting, I don't see you reply on the original post: https://twitter.com/mirisuzanne/status/918245153319587840
#
Loqi [@mirisuzanne] Anyone else still use microformats? Am I way out of date?
#
tantek wondering if @microformats should reply and quote-tweet you aaronpk
#
tantek like this: https://twitter.com/microformats/status/918262111674933248
#
Loqi [@microformats] @mirisuzanne still evolving, still growing in use. Now driving social web interoperability. As @aaronpk tweeted: https://twitter.com/aaronpk/status/918247107810639872 ^@t
