LOST finally starts again tonight, I must say its one of the very few shows I’m following these days. For those who just can’t wait until tonight check out the Mahalo page for Lost Season 4 Spoilers. Full of show recaps and various rumors from the internets this page is a great resource. We have people watch this show live and update the page in real time so be sure to check again after tonight.

WHAT!

At Mahalo we just rolled out rolled out Microformats for relevant search result pages. So what does this mean, and what are Microformats? Well, they are data classes that help machines and people identify and export information. Data such as contacts and address information is much easier to manage, search engines can also better catalog the info. Yes a little bit of the semantic web of tomorrow….today!

Getting Started:

1. Firefox users can download the Operator plugin to get instant Microformats support.

2. Visit the Paris Hotels page on Mahalo

3. Notice the Operator plugin in the top left of the below image. Every hotel featured on the page is now available for quick and easy export. You also get a few other nice features like quick access to mapping websites. Get the data you need and drop it into your address book and phone with a few clicks.

So obviously this type of feature can only apply to certain types of information. However for data it can be used with there is a lot of potential. Microformats has yet to see it’s “tipping point” like RSS but Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 9 have been rumored to be including native support. Now we need to really figure out what other types of data to map and how to make it even easier for our users. More info to “follow” on this soon.

Special thanks to Tantek who took the time to come by the Mahalo HQ and share Microformats with the staff.
