Steve Ivy's Weblog - Since 1999 - XII Ed.

Microformats and Clipboards

Michael Kaply blogs about Windows Live Clipboard support for microformats in the Operator plugin for Firefox.

This reminds me of the work I did with Brent Simmons back in the day on an RSS Item format for OS X's clipboard, which I supported for a while in my ill-featured-and-ill-fated weblog editor, Sid. I'd like to see something like this come to Safari/Firefox on OS X, so we can easily copy hCal events into iCal, and hCards into AddressBook, etc.
