Jason announced this yesterday and posted about it today and Sean Percival also blogged the good news, as did Mashable: Mahalo has begun adding [[[Microformats]]] to our pages!

You can see this in action on some of our travel pages, like [[[Paris Hotels]]]. If you install Operator for Firefox, you’ll see the following on that page:
Paris Hotels Microformats implementation
Now, whenever we include addresses, contact info, etc. on Mahalo, we’re going to work on putting the data in Microformats wherever possible, so that you can take it with you, import it into your address book, or easily open it up in Google Maps. We hope you love this feature!

Hey CK, good stuff, glad to see more real-life microformats rolling out.

I recently wrote an microFormats introduction and simple step-by-step tutorial for virtually anyone to get their first “Web 3.0″ microformat page up in 7 minutes or less. Some folks might find it too simplistic, but I thought it was kind of cool do actually do this in a few minutes…

Set up your own Microformat page instantly:

Slightly longer Web 3.0 Overview:

Thanks, – Charlie
