Microsoft and microformats

October 27th, 2008

Good to see another big player (finally) jumping on the microformats bandwagon, joining Yahoo! Microsoft introduces Oomph, a microformats toolkit, which includes an IE plugin and server-side javascript. Not sure about the name though. Additionally IE8 will support a feature called WebSlice, which is an hAtom based (MS propriatory) microformat.

Additionally, John Allsopp has a great introductory article at  Microformats: the Quiet Revolution, so if you still don’t know what microformats are, have a read.
