There's also a microformats parser effectively built into Firefox 3, generic Javascript parsing libraries http://www.danwebb.net/2007/2/9/sumo-a-generic-microformats-parser-for-javascript And online parsing services like Optimus http://microformatique.com/optimus/ Cognition http://buzzword.org.uk/cognition/ X2V http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/ Which mean that you don't need to do any scraping and parsing yourself to build a service around microformats. Something really cool along these lines is Mapanui http://www.mapanui.com/ which find microformatted locations addresses or geo data) on a page, and displays them in an in browser widget (in any browser), much like your first example. Look forward to more experiements from you john Hope you enjoy the book!
