Hello Michael.
Most gratefull for bringing up operator to life, very usefull indeed.

I’ve translated the Firefox information in French, and left a note about yourself and your blog on a new French site about “Semantic Web” called, you guessed it, “web semantique”

you can find the post at http://www.websemantique.com

I was wondering how you manage to only show tags on your own blog, whilst presenting several microformats tagged links via operator… i found the same with 456bereastreet blog.

Thanks if you can point us in the right direction.

All the best.

We’ve even added an hCard to our contact page and plan on working more with Microformats in the future. […]

[…] De doorbraak Microformats bestaan ondertussen 2 jaar, maar er zijn een paar stevige redenen waarom de doorbraak er in 2008 zit aan te komen; ze zitten dus in Firefox 3 en Internet Explorer 8 zal die vermoedelijk ook ondersteunen (Gates gaf zijn zegen in 2006). Er is overigens nu al een microformats extensie beschikbaar voor Firefox 2; Operator, ontwikkeld door een IBM-developer, dat kan ook al tellen als geloofsbrief. Operator vormt overigens de basis van de microformats-ondersteuning in FF3. […]
