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.

This simple example is not recognized by this plugin as microformats, what could be the problem?

Microformats are cool! Will help make the web even more programmamatically intertwineable and mashable. Great that Maxthon has support for this already!

@neo101 well maybe not pointless.. but considering neither ff3.0 or ie8 are out to really push the usefulness of such a tagging system out there so more people do actually implement a system into there sites.. until then having this plugin doesn't really have much use, perhaps a year ahead of its time me thinks.

I think a more useful plugin for m2 would be a better search plugin to replace the default basic one...such as the one made for M1 who developer has since gone awol... http://forum.maxthon.com/?showtopic=14552

@Pierro: the plugin should install automatically in Maxthon 2.0. You can find it on the plugins bar.

@Koogle: it's not pointless. Microformats are a new technology and Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8 are going to support it. So it's only a matter of time before more sites will use them.

seems like a pretty pointless plugin.. I mean how many sites use this microformat?
