TherYanking: A new set of standards, deemed microformats are appearing. These standards specify ways to markup XHTML in ways that give the content some meaning. Some examples include: Votelinks, NoFollow, hCard, hCalendar, podcasting, blogchalking, geourl, xfn, license, RelTag xFolk, and online news. The promise of microformats is that they offer machine-usable data while at the same time providing human-usable, presentable content. (via.)
