In case you haven't been watching, [Chris Casciano](http://placenamehere.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) has been pushing in some potential...*ful* directions lately ("potent" just seems wrong in this context) with microformats. First he releases a [script to extract microformats](http://placenamehere.com/article/229/AnnouncingExtractMicroformatsScriptForNNW?ref=chrismessina.me) in NetNewsWire then he creates a [tool for subscribing to hAtom feeds](http://placenamehere.com/article/230/FeedsForAllWithhAtom?ref=chrismessina.me) (which basically allow you to subscribe to an properly marked up HTML document instead of nasty-looking RSS). On top of that, he pushing the envelope for [microformats support in Camino](http://wiki.caminobrowser.org/Development:Planning:Microformats?ref=chrismessina.me#Initial%5FBrain%5FDump%5Fby%5FUser:ChrisCasciano). Not too shabby. Keep track of this stuff in my [Microformats Ma.gnolia group](http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/microformats?ref=chrismessina.me).
