Monkey finds Microformats
EDIT: This is obsolete. See the Updated post
Have you ever wondered which pages on the internet have hCard on them? Or hAtom? hReview? XFN? Well, now that Yahoo! Search is indexing all of these formats, you can easily search the web for them.
Just do a search for:
- hCard (searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.hcard)
- hCalendar (searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.hcalendar)
- hReview (searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.hreview)
- hAtom (searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.hatom)
- xfn (searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.xfn)
We sort the output for relevance too, so you can add in query terms as well. If you want to find a searchmonkey meeting advertising in hcalendar format: searchmonkey searchmonkeyid:com.yahoo.uf.hcalendar.
Enjoy the Monkey.

Hi, any plan to support hListing in the near future?
Thanks,
Nicolas

We plan on expanding our microformat support, but no choices have been made as to which ones yet.
I hate to give you the generic response, but please go put it on our suggestion board for tracking (or else your request will get lost).
It is on the left of the developer tool:
http://developer.search.yahoo.com/ -> http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=datarss
Why do you pick hListing and not any of the other ones?

It also works with com.yahoo.uf.hatom. -m
