Learning about Microformats

Jakob Heuser introduced me to Tantek and Matthew Levine. My conversation went something like this:

Me: How’s it going with hiring PHP guys?
Tantek: We’re always hiring great talent.
Me: Really?
Tantek: Do you know about microformats?
Me: No.

At this point Tantek turned away from me and our conversation ended.

But Matthew Levine jumped in to help out by asking, “Do you have a website?”

Me: Yes
Matthew: Let’s add a microformat to it right now.

In less than half an hour we geeked out the right sort of microformat for my website and put it up on my contacts page.

It’s because of helpful folks like Matthew that SxSW is so enjoyable.

If you don’t know about microformats, I will not turn my back to you, and will no doubt help you out in the same way that Matthew did.

You got Tantek’d!

Good to see you were able to quickly get it coded in there. It’s wonderfully simple. And there’s so much you can do with it (and more and more every day).
