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).

Storytlr using microformats2 for indieweb comments

The Storytlr open source blogging tool now consumes microformats2, in particular h-entry and h-card to display comments made from indieweb blog to another.

Taproot and p3k

The Taproot and 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 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 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 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.
