BarCamp and Microformats


This post is coming to you live from the first session of Denver BarCamp. In preparation for my demo at 2pm, this post contains a small use of the Vote-Links microformat. (More about microformats)

It’s really simple.

For example, when I linked to the Denver BarCamp site above, I just added an additional param saying rev="vote-for". So the link looks like this:

<a rev="vote-for" href="http://barcamp.org/BarCampDenver">Denver BarCamp</a>

So if all goes well (demo-itus is very real...), the Lijit crawler should pick up these opinions of mine and share them with anyone who trusts me. I'll let you know how it goes.

(And to make the demo complete, I'll demonstrate the vote-against capability by pointing out that PayPal still has $1200 of mine which they refuse to give back...)
