Microformats article on Yahoo! Developer blog

. Updated: .

After a slightly longer drafting period than I’d planned, my article Kelkoo goes microformatic has gone live on the Yahoo! Developer Network blog.

It’s a lengthy piece on the recent redevelopment of Kelkoo and the microformats we added to it. It’s focused on the consumption of the formats though; putting them to use to build a related products widget for Kelkoo. That was my Hack Day V creation (up on hack.ben-ward). I hope it provides a useful introduction to hListing, and the practical benefits of microformats in action.

Feedback so far has been excellent, so thank you to all who’ve linked it with kind words.

    cool stuff man, we just launched support as well. We don’t have 26M listings, but between UK and Spain we have well over 1M, which is a start.

    Look forward to seeing some applications live as well.
