Structured Blogging and Prospective Search

Via Bob Wyman from PubSub:

With Structured Blogging, we'll be able to post structured items in any of millions of blogs or web sites and have those items recognized, indexed, and searched on any number of search sites -- just like HTML pages are today. No longer will we need to rely on going to a small number of centralized, walled-garden, closed sites like MeetUp, eBay, Monster, or EVDB to publish or search for the kind of information that requires structure. Common search engines like Google, Yahoo! and PubSub will be able to usefully index this data. In the future, as search engines come to better support structured data, we will all benefit as the Gray Web grows smaller and the visible web grows larger.
