== Recently in microformats ==
In the past several months there has been a considerable increase in activity in, with, and around microformats. From continued growth of stalwarts like [[hCard]] and [[rel-me]], to emergence of federated indieweb comments based on the [[microformats2]] [[h-entry]] and [[h-card]]. Search engines are crawling more microformats than ever, most recently [[hAtom]] and [[hMedia]]. Lastly, informal microformats meetups, as well as sessions and presentations at conferences, continue at a good monthly pace.

=== New implementations ===
New real world publishing and uses of microformats emerge every week.  Here are a few examples that are enabling and enhancing key features on the web.

==== new rel me support ====
Both [https://app.net App.net] and [https://svbtle.com Svbtle] now support [[rel-me]] for user profiles linking to their home pages.

App.net in particular implemented their Domain Claiming feature based on rel-me linking from your personal site to your app.net profile (and entering your personal site in your app.net profile).

Thus the list of OAuth providers available to authenticate for [[web sign-in]] backends continues to grow. The [[IndieAuth]] library and service that implements [[RelMeAuth]] has already added support for App.net as a RelMeAuth authentication provider.

==== Storytlr using microformats2 for indieweb comments ====
The [http://indiewebcamp.com/Storytlr Storytlr] open source blogging tool now consumes [[microformats2]], in particular [[h-entry]] and [[h-card]] to [http://indiewebcamp.com/comment#Display_received_comments display comments] made from indieweb blog to [http://eschnou.com/entry/testing-indieweb-federation-with-waterpigscouk-aaronpareckicom-and--62-24908.html another].

==== Taproot and p3k reply contexts ====
The [http://indiewebcamp.com/Taproot Taproot] and [http://indiewebcamp.com/p3k p3k] blogging tools are also consuming [[h-entry]] and [[h-card]] to display original post context when publishing replies.

==== Google is parsing hMedia ====
As of somewhere in the end of 2012 or early 2013, Google has began parsing hMedia. 

While not officially supporting hMedia like they do in the [http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99170 rich snippet support page] for [[hCard]], [[hReview]], [[hCalendar]] (event too)& [[hRecipe]], Google surprisingly has began to show the [[hMedia]] in the webmaster tools result. 

===== Does Google really support [[hMedia]]? =====
Officially - I could not find anything related to think that Google actually support it or can read it, even when searching "Google hMedia" I could not find anything related to the fact that Google supporting [[hMedia]]. 

The main focus I will take is for the [[hMedia]] is the image deceleration, because as so far it is the only type within the [[hMedia]] schema that I could say that Google supports. 
===== Google! where is my hMedia? ===== 
The first thing many people do to find out if they have coded their web page properly with the [[Microformats]], is entering [http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets Google Rich Snippet Tool] and check their page to see if Google is parsing it correctly. 

The first time I have used the [[hMedia]] schema, I could not find anything that could say that Google parses my [[hMedia]].

Example: lets parse this page: [http://goo.gl/CZQFu http://goo.gl/CZQFu] And we will get:

By this Google gives us the impression that it does not parse [[hMedia]]. 

===== hMedia! There you are =====
I have personally used this [[hMedia]] image tagging since the 2012, and Google webmaster tools hasn`t shown me any information about reading the hMedia, somewhere near the start of year 2013, I have found Google has began parsing almost all of the [[hMedia]] photos I have tagged.

'''Please share your thoughts regarding the parsing of [[hMedia]], and your opinions about what [[hMedia]] should include in [[Microformats2]], and if you have found any other type of [[hMedia]] schema`s that Google parses. '''

Thanks to [[User:ISRAELi|Aviran Zazon]] for investigating, screenshotting, and writing up his research on Google's hMedia support. Content has been reformatted for this blog post.
