Google Strict vs Google Deprecated is an interesting article – it’s something that I have wondered.
Though I’m sure Google might argue that they’re doing quite ok with what they’ve got.
Great links as usual! Thanks!
That review is wild who did that?
Jeffrey, it’s excellent the way you’ve encoded your about page in hcard.
But if I might make a suggestion or two…
You should still wrap your full name in a [span class="fn"][/span], even though you’re explicitly specifying “given-name” and “family-name”.
If you put the class=”vcard” on the containing div (the one with the id of “maincontent”), you can combine your personal and business information into one card. Just add class=”photo” to the image to get the picture in there too.
I love the way you’re using XFN for the links to Eric and myself and the coup de grace is the rel=”me” link to the Happy Cog bio and the Wikipedia page.
Mmmmm…. microformated yumminess.
I’ve added your “about” page to the examples section of the hcard Wiki:

Amen, Fred Gates. I’d say it to Fred Gates in his comments, but then I’d have to register for MySpace and my head would explode.
No problem Erin… I see all! Thank You…I appreciate that I am not alone in disliking the “emperor’s new movie”

“We are the Web: Fighting for Net Neutrality and Internet Freedom” – when I go to that site, I am greeted with the text: “Please upgrade your Flash Player in order to view this site.”
How ironic.

Indeed. And yet. Let not the choice of delivery system overshadow the message.
Jeffrey: I wouldn’t if I could. Adobe does not make a Flash-plugin for my platform.
[Insert usual open standards, closed plugins-rant here, or just a slight sigh]
WeAreTheWeb: DOPA is one thing that might make it harder for poor kids in the US to learn about the Web technologies that are available (in the UK, many Colleges have ‘cybernannies’ installed but these can be customised on request by teachers, depending on policies and age of the class).
The next thing down the tube (to coin a phrase) is the patenting of learning management systems by a number of companies, most notoriously Blackboard. Michael Feldstein is recording events. Needless to say, academics are not happy. I have not seen so much engagement for ages.
