I'm curious to find if anyone is using microformats on their site.
I'm not... yet.

Yahoo announced a while back that they will start indexing them

Sites like Linked.com in use them. I notice that if I search for myself on Yahoo:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Pau...java+developer
The very first result is me (even has my picture) , well, my linkedin profile anyway...

So, they are clearly using the microformat data.

The microformat data seems like a great way to help users of search engines. And if it helps users, that means higher quality targeted traffic. This could be good for site owners and our visitors.

I'm not yet either, but I will be in the future. I certainly like the idea of them.

it seems that flickr is using microformats as well...

I come first under Yahoo when I research my name and SEO, or my name and Marketing etc....it's always my Linked In profile that shows up too. Same thing under Google.

Interesting...
