"In the last couple of years, microformats have kind of gone from this interesting idea, that people thought, 'ah yeah, that might be cool if you get can get anybody to do it', to dozens of companies that were here [at ETech] that had microformats built into their systems and were using them actively."

- Starting at 17:55 minutes in, Mike Arrington asks Nik: "How do you define a Web 2.0 or Social Network 3.0?"
- Nik:
"I think what's interesting is what Reid mentioned earlier with LinkedIn now making pages available to the public, probably a big step that we should talk about more, and I think this is what Social Networking 3.0 is all about, is having hopefully supporting microformats as well, which I wanted to ask Reid about but we'll leave til later, such as hCard and XFN. What I think Social Networking 3.0 is about is about not having a single destination social network, it's about publishing your profile on the Web, and having all these extra services that come around and scoop all this information up and make it available to anybody else. Because if you think about the way that social networks work in real life, is you don't have one big destination that everyone sort of groups around, smaller social networks, 10, 15, 20 people. So if LinkedIn makes these pages public, what that means is that I can set up a social network, and I can say that these 3 people from Linkedin and these 8 people who have blogs are all part of this social network. Social Networking 3.0 for me is about decentralization of social networks, it's about the support of these microformats, and scooping all this information together using other services."
