As always a great discussion at the microformats panel #futuremf #sxswi
Microformats 2 is the way forward?
Session 12 - The Future of Microformats
Looking forward to this one.
NOTES
——————————————————-
- hRecipe adopted by Google search
- hAudio proved to have no interest in it past draft
- Launch of new process
- Open Graph -> People grumpy about canonical use. Impact on Google & SEO
- Namespaces
- Facebook added hCard to profiles & hEvent
- Big pushback internally at FB, added 200bytes p/page
- Ben Ward = CLASS PATTERN
- Microformats 2 = Root class names, do away with <div>’s & <span>’s
- Single letter prefix h-*
Session 11 - Q&A with Google and Bing
Open floor with the search giants. Lost of good questions.
NOTES
———————————————————
- Content (domain) that is aged is a good “signal” but is only one of many and not a rank solely
- Topicality & reputation
- Lot of talk about “signals”, social sites giving feedback that is not recent but relevant to your sphere
- There is no normal ranking. Place (physical or digital) can change
- Conversation is what you need
- microformats/rich data. Both use hCard
- Deep content and research are key
Keynote - Jared Spool

Excellent as always
———————————————————-
A great wrap-up from Jared Spool. Well attended and, as always, he shared great insights along with a few laughs.
NOTES:
- 37Signals - How would I use this thing?
- “Self Design” (dog fooding) - You use it everyday. What frustrates you, you will end up fixing it for you and for everyone else.
- “Unintentional Design” - Focused on back end. Not worth spending time on it as training will sort out any issues.
- “Genuis Design” - Relying on what we’ve taught ourselves because, “we know users”, based on our previous experiences.
- “Activity Focused Design” - Users, activities, make lists, “fills in the gap between activities”.
- Styleguides & rules don’t work (2 yr stydy)
- Take 2 hrs every 6 weeks watching people use the design.
- Design patterns = GOODÂ / Style guides = BAD
Start of Day 4 with yesterday’s haul of swag.
