[Joe Pezzillo](http://web.mac.com/metafy/?ref=chrismessina.me) of [Metafy](http://www.metafy.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) pinged me that he's shipping a new version of his web mining tool called [Anthracite](http://www.metafy.com/anthracite/product%5Finfo/?ref=chrismessina.me) that can [convert](http://web.mac.com/metafy/SECHCardImages/?ref=chrismessina.me) [SEC Edgar Filings into the hCard microformat](http://web.mac.com/metafy/iWeb/MetafyWebMiningSoftware/TheMetafyBlog/C1A52C50-A318-4ADA-9D5F-6F986635EB69.html?ref=chrismessina.me):

> So, introducing SEC Form 4 Info to [hCard Format](http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard?ref=chrismessina.me), a new ready-to-run solution included with Anthracite. It’s a set of three Anthracite documents and an Automator workflow to tie it all together. The latest form info is scraped from the SEC, a particular filing type is extracted, and then all those filings are harvested for contact information which is then converted to the hCard microformat. You can use [Technorati to convert these hCard pages](http://technorati.com/contacts?ref=chrismessina.me) into Apple AddressBook .vcf files, I’ve seen it work with my own eyes! It’s pretty slick, if I may say so, and I know that many customers (and soon-to-be-customers) are going to like this, too. 

Oh, and I never thought I'd be in the position to say this, but, a note to potential would-be review requesters (I've only had two to date): adding support for either [microformats](http://microformats.org/?ref=chrismessina.me) or [OpenID](http://www.openidenabled.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) in your product greatly increases the chance that I'll blog about you! Huzzah! (Of course, having a good product helps a great deal as well).
