[uf-discuss] Microformats in Google Maps

[David Mead]

I don't think it's Operator that's at fault.

I wrote a post about trying Google Maps
(http://www.viewfromw6th.com/2007/08/microformats-getting-bigger.html)
as soon as I heard they were using microformats.  Looking up our
company address I could not pull any meaningful data out using
Operator, Tails or the LeftLogic bookmarklet.

Though it's great news I'm a little saddened that Google couldn't get
it right first time.
