theSUGGESTR implements hreview-aggregate microformat

By admin, 11 December, 2009, No Comment

We’ve just updated our business pages so that they support the hreview-aggregate microformat.  As described by Microformats.org hreview-aggregate is

a format for embedding review information (of products, services, businesses, etc). Whereas hReview is intended for an individual review, hReview-aggregate is meant for summary information about a collection of user or critic reviews about an item.

Some examples of the marked pages can be found here:

What does this mean? Nothing for our users really – we wanted to make our reviews available to engines that consume microformats and over time may start to consume some ourselves to help improve our suggestion engine.  You can see some of the neat products created using similar semantic technologies by clicking here.

If you have any questions or comments about our implementation or some ideas on how we can take advantage of Microformats feel free to post a comment.
