Microformats: So subtle, so light, so try some!

Ted Drake (from Yahoo! is that a cool, innovating company or what?) hits the nail on the head:  Microformats are so easy the only excuse for not using them is not knowing how to!

I've used PHP-driven vCards before but that's heavy ... in contrast, hCard is sooo easy, light on the mark-up and with something like Tails it becomes easily discoverable and usable! And if Steve Martin can use it it must be cool ;-)

Incidentally, Steve's provides an answer to a topic raised at @media2006: What about privacy? Simply ensure that only the information that you want to share with "the world" is in the hCard ... most is optional. Update 14Aug: And in response to something I heard about identity theft, mine no-longer contains my birth date 'cos (apparently) all someone needs is your full name, address and date of birth to do some mischief!
