[uf-discuss] Microformat Base

[Scott Reynen]

I thought I'd go ahead and play around with a microformat-based  
alternative to Google Base.  So far, I have a basic spider that I set  
loose from microformats.org to slowly wander the web.  When it finds  
any known microformat-associated class names, it records the data  
which can then be searched here:

http://www.randomchaos.com/microformats/base/

Or via URL like so:

http://www.randomchaos.com/microformats/base/?key=fn&value=Tantek

It's currently only looking for hcard and hcalendar class names. The  
spider can be invoked on a site manually like so:

http://www.randomchaos.com/microformats/base/spider/?url=http:// 
domain.com/path/to/microformat/

All open source [1][2][3][4] if anyone wants to play with it.  It's  
pretty basic right now, but I'd be interested in any feedback you all  
have.

Peace,
Scott
