Whilst browsing through my feed subscriptions in Google Reader (highly recommended) today I came accross an interesting article on Read/Write Web about microformats and “The Web Browser as an Information Broker” - i.e. becoming the center of everything you do through standardising the exchange of data which in turn makes the applications that you use to view this irrelevant. For anyone who spends a lot of time online this is a pretty big deal as suddenly your data becomes so much more useful when it’s inconnected and easily accessible. In essance it brings structure to chaos - this can only be a good thing!
Could this be Internet’s next killer feature (or perhaps the final death nail for IE)? For a more indepth discussion on what this is all about check out this series of articles which provide a good introduction.
