What Google sayx. And Bing. And Yahoo. And Yandex.

But if all you care about is SEO by all means use what you perceive as the flavor of the day. But if you also care about a robust, developer-friendly, serialization format for linked data then JSON-LD is there for you.

Frankly "linked data" is not a priority for me. There's plenty of useful structured data that is not LD, and tbh most developers who use JSON-LD don't even know about the LD part, they just copy the examples and wonder why they have "@context" everywhere

Unless I'm missing something, this chart is lacking 2017, 2018, 2019, as well as 2020. Google is strongly recommended JSON-LD usage today, and has been since 2016-ish.

And there are a number of rich snippets that _only_ work as JSON-LD.

Yes, read the linked post, it's from 2016

I know that you're a huge microformats fan Kevin, but among other things: 1) they're not remotely expressive enough for contemporary structured data requirements; 2) they're HTML-bound, meaning you can't provide data like this https://developers.google.com/actions/media/how-to/create-a-feed

If all you care about is SEO then do whatever Google says to do this year and you're fine. Today that's JSON-LD, tomorrow it's ???? I need to update this chart for 2020 but as we see, history keeps repeating itself. https://aaronparecki.com/2016/12/17/8/owning-my-reviews#historical-recommendations

You might be surprised what you can do with Microformats...

Even this tweet originated from my own website using tools built on Microformats.

Like Netflix I also use my own private internal measurement that I only occasionally release for stats and yesterday I had 87,000,000,000 views on my website. https://buff.ly/30HVBXk

Hey Aaron! What software/library are you using to generate those maps with your location? Can they be considered heat maps? And what about the animated video?

It's all a giant pile of PHP code I wrote ages ago, it's not even map-projection-aware it just plots on a 2D canvas. The animation is basically a timelapse of a bunch of frames of that same script played in a row.

I literally did this for my 30th birthday, only it was a $1000 budget because I'm cheap and was a multi-city spy-themed scavenger hunt on public transit. There was a rooftop message only readable from the aerial tram, and a secret karaoke bus. We had tacos.

nice! i’m sure you learn stuff from work that you can utilize for your personal.

so far it's been mostly the other way around, but mainly because I did a big push on my personal channel while on PTO in December 😄 which paid off cause I went from 200 to 1500 subscribers in like 7 weeks 🎉

What do you think would be fragile about my approach? Giving the client control over the random value?

by "fragile" I mean things like vulnerable to popup blockers, popups are bad UX on mobile browsers, etc.
