How to Make the Road Speak. With Design. - http://www.azarask.in/blog...
"On the sides of roads, especially on highways, you’ll often find groves. If you’re drowsy or not paying attention and happen onto them, you’ll be shocked into attention as a loud pitch fills your car. Here’s the idea: If we modulate the space in-between the grooves, we’ll be able to modulate the pitch that fills the car. The more grooves we put in a row, the longer the pitch will last. We now have pitch and duration. That’s enough the play melodies. Imagine driving down the road next to a winding river, and having the road itself play you the Blue Danube. Or going through the Rocky Mountains and have the road play American the Beautiful. And if we move the grooves to the center of the road, you won’t even have to drive off the road to hear it." - Ivan Zuzak

Mårten. Kan du inte ännu tydligare ta den här staffetpinnen från dig själv?

Du har kunskapen, och pedagogiken sitter där. Du kanske rent av kan bli professionell bloggare ;) - Joakim Jardenberg

Robert Scoble
Every day I want to learn something new about the Now/New/2010/3.0 Web. Let's learn about microformats today here:
Who has a great example of using microformats? - Robert Scoble
Google search for Microformats: http://www.google.com/search... - Robert Scoble
So far the biggest problem with microformats is that most companies only offer 1 way support. They provide one for you, but don't take yours from elsewhere. Details: http://www.dotcult.com/who-sup... - Ryan Jones
I'd love to have someone on Building43 to explain them. Anyone game? - Robert Scoble
The Operator Firefox plugin was very useful for testing microformats. Hcard is useful when available. - Jauder Ho
cork'd is a great example of hreview - we have building them into sites for about two years now - Pat Strader
I would nominate @kevinmarks for this assignment given his work on RichSnippets - Dilip Dand
FriendFeed uses the rel="me" microformat on the services page (e.g. http://friendfeed.com/paul...) to tag links to my other services. The Google Social Graph API uses these links to find you around the web. - Paul Buchheit
i wrote a recent introduction if anyone is interested i can share, but do not wish to link drop - Pat Strader
Pat: please do share! - Robert Scoble
I'm interested pat - courtney benson
Pat, thanks, it will help I'm sure. - courtney benson
Google Profiles also uses this to guess links that belong to you. - Jauder Ho
we build in hcard primarily as we deal with a great deal of tourism "directory" type sites - Pat Strader
I'd love to have Tantek or Kevin on Building43 to explain microformats and show how to use them. - Robert Scoble
i made some moo stickers if anyone wants some, let me know, microformats stickers have been hard to find for me! - Pat Strader
Thanks Pat! Basic or not it is more than I knew 5 minutes ago! - Marshall Huwe
dan cederholm used them years ago with cork'd - hreview - Pat Strader
Pat - problem with that URL please resend tks - courtney benson
marshall no problem, im very excited about them, just needs more evangelists - Pat Strader
Scoble, besides Building43 ;) What is a great website to keep on top of the 2010 Web? Are there any web resources that you're particularly fond of? My favorites are Mashable, Read Write Web, and TechCrunch. - Sam Houston
courtney - try this http://snip.li/bc13f8 - Pat Strader
tks, I'll try now - courtney benson
Sam: Stack Overflow, but that's more aimed at programmers. Hacker News. And then there's a ton of people I follow. I put the best ones at http://www.friendfeed.com/scoblei... - Robert Scoble
Cool, thanks Robert! :) - Sam Houston
If someone wants to set up a local (SV) meetup, I'd be there. Trying to digest as much as I can since format adoption appears inevitable. - Rick Bucich
Calais 2.0 showing some potential ... Calais 2.0 unveiled by Thomson Reuters http://blogs.zdnet.com/semanti... - Willi Schroll
here's something about iPhone you may not have thought of:http://patriciahandschiegel.tumblr.com/post... - Patricia
i think with google now saying they will use them in some capacity will increase the adoption rate for developers - Pat Strader
Rick, Tantek had a #microformats meetup going for a while. Check out the microformats site. - Jauder Ho
Brian Suda's book is a good read for those so inclined - Pat Strader
Pat, you've given me enough info to be dangerous. As a sales and mkt person that has a lot of potential for "true geektacular" - courtney benson
courtney great, glad you got something from it - Pat Strader
its pretty exciting stuff - Pat Strader
if you want a couple sheets of the moostickers, just let me know...i printed 900 for blogpotomac, but they didnt arrive in time to take them.... - Pat Strader
if only eventful etc crawled for hcalendar... - Pat Strader
Thanks Jauder! - Rick Bucich
The question I have about microformats is "how do you know you need them?" I know when I need to use DIV's or when I need some JavaScript but I'm still not along to the place where I know all the places I need microformats. - Robert Scoble
I'd rather see HTML change to be separated into a set of semantic elements and organizational elements, then CSS adapt to work better with that separation, way more than I'd like to see microformats try and do this same thing through hackery of CSS. - xero
robert i simply started wrapping any address, or review or event as a part of workflow - Pat Strader
I'd love to come and explain microformats for your audience, Robert - Kevin Marks
There's the 4th Birthday party this Friday - http://microformats.org/wiki... maybe Robert could do a video or 2 from there. - Debi Jones
Kevin, I see you're attending the July 18 event http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event... anything sooner? - Rick Bucich
the point of microformats is to give common ways for people to express things on the web that are used a lot, like addresses, reviews, tags and events. They do this using standard HTML. - Kevin Marks
that would be a great event - Pat Strader
Robert, we can chat about them at the SFAMA meetin on thursday - I think it fits into the panel's cope too. - Kevin Marks
Kevin: yeah, let's do that. I'd love to take advantage of your free time before you get totally crazy busy with some hot startup. - Robert Scoble
I loved melody piece on su.pr. And I've been using it all day - Zachary Adam Cohen
How would someone find out who has adopted the format? i.e. review sites using hReview. I know of Yelp but also notice that Insiderpages is being pulled into Google & Yahoo Local. - Rick Bucich
rick thats a great question, i have tried to find out who might be looking for them myself - Pat Strader
Rick, Pat use the Operator plugin. - Jauder Ho
yes, i have it use it quite a bit, i was trying to find places that might be going out and looking for them, not necessarily implementing - Pat Strader
i use both operator and tails plugins are there others? - Pat Strader
It doesn't appear that Operator supports hReview, am I correct? I'll check out Tails - Rick Bucich
What is something simple I can do to incorporate microformats into my blog? - Robert Scoble
start using them? - Tyler Gillies
This guy seems to be exceptionally authoritative on microformats or "microstructures" as he calls them: @luebken on Twitter and his blog, http://leubken.com, has a great post on "Overview of microstructures in use". - Mike Elliott
the simplest thing to do, Robert, would be to make your contact info in the sidebar into an hCard; you're already mostly supporting hAtom from your template - Kevin Marks
Is this like one of those CGI voting scripts on a website? A widget? You could make it be reviews of each of your videos, Robert. Why put up contact info to the masses? Reviews makes sense. - Prokofy Neva
I have not looked much at hReview but this shows a hcard mockup (do view source) http://bit.ly/1vfp3i You should be able to use this right away after substituting your info. I did notice that Google does extract this into their excerpt for search results. - Jauder Ho
another example site is linkedin using hresume http://steve.ganz.name/blog... and there is a wordpress plugin http://wordpress.org/extend... (not sure what platform is needed) - Mike Chelen
A List Apart blog just posted a good article about RDFa, which you could use for semantic markup when a microformat isn't necessary or doesn't exist: http://www.alistapart.com/article... - Chip Ramsey
The future of microformats: the direction I think it should take: https://friendfeed.com/search... Ultra-minimal; minimum tag clutter. - Sean McBride
Robert, Kevin, please hook up with @marksilva before Thursday to discuss SFAMA panel. @scobleizer @kevinmarks - Mark Evans
Kol Tregaskes
A very nerdy list of character limits on FriendFeed:
In comments you are able to type in 20,000 characters but if you paste into the box you can go up to 100,000. - Kol Tregaskes
But this doesn't stop you from pasting even more into the comment box. I got up to 5 million characters before giving up, but of course going over 100,000 characters is pointless. Note, don't try and paste 5 million characters into the share box, it freezes FF for a looong period. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
If you want to keep the 'more' link away keep comments under 512 characters. - Kol Tregaskes
For group descriptions you can type 161 characters but you can paste (and display) 1,000 charcters.. So if you need more than 161, type it in a text editor then paste into the box. - Kol Tregaskes
For CC to Twitter, keep you title down to 121 characters (as the ff.im link and space take up 19 characters). - Kol Tregaskes
If you include a pic it goes down to 116 as the tweet includes the addition text, "[pic]". - Kol Tregaskes
So question, why can we display more than 20,000 characters in comments and 161 characters in group descriptions? I think the limit for group descriptions should be upped to 1,000 and for the comments to drop to the 20,000 limit - like we need that much anyway. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
*stands and applauds* Dear god man... - Johnny Worthington
Hehe, Johnny, like I say once a tester always a tester. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
nice work - to-much-time-kol ;) - mike "glemak" dunn
Kol, obsess much, LOL?!?!?!??! :D Seriously, that's some intense study, there. - Helen Sventitsky
Surely, this can't be correct: "For CC to Twitter, keep you title down to 121 characters (as the ff.im link and space take up 19 characters)." I don't think strictly administrivial link to origin of a tweet counts in the 140 char limit, at least it doesn't show in my own. Other than that - attaboy, with some reservations: pasting 5-mil string into the Share box - what are you, a FF-weirdo? ;-)) - ianf ⌘
You can paste up to 100,000? Nice find my good man! Unrelated, anybody know a decent ASCII art site? </feignsinnocence> Seriously though - wow! :) - Andy Bold
Andy, well Louis tested it and got 95k, so I tried a proper test and peaked at 100,000 chars. - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, awesome work. : ) - vijay
Kol for president of Friendfeed. - teh Dork Knight
Not nerdy enough. I'd think that the character limits would be in powers of 2. - John E. Bredehoft
Kol, this is an insta-like post for me! @Andy FF's current stylesheet uses a variable width font, so ASCII art will be abstract art at best :) - Micah Wittman
For the post's title, you can use 350 characters from the share box and the bookmarklet, though I've been able to paste over this and it displays 352 characters. - Kol Tregaskes
If you use a word of about 80 characters or more it goes leaks on the right and eventually overlaps the sidebar and beyond. - Kol Tregaskes
In the comments keep your URLs at 32 characters or less to avoid the dreaded ... [3 dots]. - Kol Tregaskes
As with everything in FF these numbers are subject to change at any moment ;-) - Brian Sullivan
In the title keep your URLs at 30 characters or less to also avoid the dreaded ... [3 dots]. Why should these be different? - Kol Tregaskes
I think that will do for today, let me know what I've missed? :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kudos Kol!!! - Dobromir Hadzhiev
A few I've missed: 161 characters *only* for your bio. Nothing extra for pasting into the box. - Kol Tregaskes
Display name is 3-25 characters. So why are we allowed to type anything more than 25? - Kol Tregaskes
Great work Kol! - Robert Scoble
Same for usernames. When you try to save a username of more than 25 characters it tells you that it's "not available". Please can the text be limited to 25 characters? - Kol Tregaskes
Hah, thanks guys. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
I'm such a data-junky. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Oh dear. This is not only a great post. I just can't stop laughing. ROFL ROFL ROFL !! - Chris Loft
Hehe, Chris. Hey I was laughing when I was playing with 5 million characters, I nearly broke FF! ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Is this why FF has been slow these days? I see! - vijay
very impressive - Ryan Dadey
Thank you Kol for brightening up my new-FF-stricken 2 days :D :)) ROFL indeed! - Isha (Marysia)
Hmmm, the first comment appears to break the 512 rule above. It looks like the first comment can be about 1,000 characters (though you sometimes get cut off with the 'more' link from 980 characters to well over a 1,000) but every comment thereafter is ruled by the 512 limit. The first comment still gets the character count from 512 though. This needs tidying up please. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
[Used to be] If you put too many characters into a comment, then you couldn't cut/copy from that comment (which forced me to retype comments). Not sure what happens now. I liked when Del.icio.us added longer comments. - Mitchell Tsai
Hey, Mitchell, how you doing? Yes agree. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Doing good Kol. Facebook has been taking up most of my on-line time, but I was in Las Vegas for a few weeks, and all my hotels were charging $10-15/night for internet, so I haven't been online much. Miss seeing all your pictures. I'll have to surf your Vi.sualize.us account when I'm back in Ohio (I'm in Boston now for a dance weekend). - Mitchell Tsai
Aww, I better get back to browsing for more photography then, hehe. Thanks, Mitchell. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, have you been sleeping at all the last coupla days? :D - Isha (Marysia)
What is "sleep"? ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
sleep - when all life choose to relax. There you go Kol ; ) edit: inference: Kol = machine. - vijay
OK Kol, here's a challenge for your numbers testing... is there a maximum number of comments limit? Wasn't there a site where you could see stats like the post with the most comments and stuff like that? - Andy Kruger
Andy, I don't know of a limit but these are the most commented: http://friendfeed.com/search... and this is the most liked: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Kol Tregaskes
Ah... cool. Hmmm... speculation... I wonder if we'll see different sorting options in search results some day? Like sort by number of comments or sort by number of likes? Would proably have to e combined with some sort of maximum result counter, I don't know what "likes:1" on all feeds would result in. - Andy Kruger
Andy sorting options would be most welcome, yes, more options on the advanced search would be great. - Kol Tregaskes
It's possible to create a display name up to 35 characters: http://friendfeed.com/0123456... however an error shows when trying to edit it afterwards :p - Mike Chelen
