Microformats plugin for Maxthon!

There is a new plugin for Maxthon that can parse Microformats from sites. If you haven't heard of Microformats yet, you can read the article on the wikipedia. They basically allow software to extract data like events and contact info from websites, so you can export the data to other sites, or save them.

The "Microformats Button" plugin for Maxthon can extract events, contact details, geological locations, tags and addresses from sites that use Microformats.

Download this Microformats plugin

Rodrigo Bressane, Maxthon fan, web developer and fantastic photographer from Brazil send me this little clip. Rodrigo tells me while he is driving back from work why he loves Maxthon. Rodrigo even shot the new Miss Brazil the other day (second place at the miss universe).

Some pictures of her on his Flickr: here, here and there.

Check out his site.
