This implies http://schema.org is invented by Google; it isn't.

"Since April 2015, the W3C http://Schema.org Community Group is the main forum for schema collaboration, and provides the public-schemaorg@w3.org mailing list for discussions."

http://schema.org/docs/about.html

Literally on http://schema.org... "Founded by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yandex..." and look at the names on their about page too. Even if it's not created exclusively by them (which I never said), that looks an awful lot like an oligopoly to me anyway.

i'm kind of sold on webmention - been silently using http://webmention.io for a while, but the volume hasn't convinced me to display the results onsite. i'm not sure that it relies on h-card/entry, though, and the many many http://schema.org schemas don't have consumers

Wait were you referring to schema.org vocabs in your comment about pushing specs that don’t have implementations? Because yeah I agree completely on that front.

Fiddling with http://schema.org to create a simple event for about 1 hour. Was @microformats too easy and too readable for the big boys to come up with the exact opposite...? 🙄

I appreciate the road that microformats paved, but it's 2017, and I should be using prescribed class declarations ... because?

@aaranged It's schema.org today, but ???? tomorrow!

Why Microformats? Owning My Reviews

Back in October, I wrote a bunch of short mini-reviews on products and services that I use regularly. I published them all on a single page called "Favorite Things". In the past, I've written a couple of reviews on Amazon and then copied them to my website as a blog post.I decided it was time to be able to publish proper reviews from my own website, including having them show up in Google with the little stars, what Google now calls "Rich Snippets."Searching for Google's documentation on how to mark up a web page to show the Rich Snippet reveals an interesting pattern. Currently, their documentation provides three recommended markup styles: Microdata, RDFa, and JSON-LD. All three use the Schema.org vocabulary.

@aaronpk AMP doesn't have a very strong opinion on how semantic markup is applied. In general we love micro formats :)

@cramforce oh? Interesting! I saw that schema.org is required and assumed that Google is getting the content from there.

The last day of #osfw3c is wrapping up with the creator of http://schema.org to address the patent concerns brought up yesterday. He drove up from Google this morning.

Why would I have any interest in schema.org if all I can do is publish my data for Google? #osfw3c

@t So really what this means is I am not allowed to parse schema.org data from others sites? Only Google is allowed to? #osfw3c
