Introduction
Examples of what people actually publish on the Web when discussing, linking to, referring to media. This is focused predominantly on time based media such as audio and video, but may consider aspects of static media as well such as still images.
Emphasis on Practical, Simple, and Minimal
Since all previous known attempts at this problem area have ended up quite complex and over-designed, this attempt will place simplicity and minimalism first and foremost.
Thus for now, this document is deliberately restricted to examples that are:
- Actual examples in practice on the Web with URLs to the originals (note, all *-examples pages should be like this, but previous attempts at documenting media info examples have mostly ignored this requirement, and thus it is necessary to be explicit).
- Representative of very common publishing behavior on the Web. This focus on common, representative examples is essential. If possible, include an estimate of the number of similar examples. E.g. ~10k.
- Simple and minimalist. As simple as possible. Go read the microformats principles right now before proceeding any further.
Any examples added which do not conform to these requirements will be deleted.

Audio
Speech
Publication of audio speeches on blogs is often called "podcasting". In essence though, it is simply audio speech publishing.

Next Steps
- Add more real-world, simple, minimal examples.
- Research and organize existing/previous media-info-formats, with a focus on formats for publishing common, user-visible media information.
- Start media-info-brainstorming based on examples.
