[uf-discuss] Fwd: Microformats for Dummies presentations/talks/slides/points

[Dimitri Glazkov]

Ryan,

This is indeed a good "basics of microformats" presentation, but the
audience I am going for will be lost on the 2nd slide. What I am going
to try is a more socio-economical impact slant, outcomes, the big
picture. Actually, the part of Gates/O'Reilly dialogue Mark quoted
today is a very good example.
