Twitter adds support for Microformats

26 May 2007

Twitter has added support hCard, hAtom and XFN Microformats. I noticed about it via Chris Messina’s post.

Microformats are cool, I am reading and quietly noticing thing about it on web/mailing-lists. I have slowly started adopting, wherever I can, f.ex. this blog would have some of them soon.

I would be posting more about Microformats, now onwards. I would love to adopt, contribute and evangelize. Thanks for community to creating such a simple technology (Microformats) which can be adopted in existing work without any change, yeah you need to have to semantic-html.
