[](http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/297778953/?ref=chrismessina.me)One aspect of microformats that's not been widely discussed or perhaps even considered is their interaction with [Flash apps like YourMinis](http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/11/11/the-yourminis-do-it-all-flash-homepage/?ref=chrismessina.me)... you might be guffawing there, but fer real -- it's not just *shiny shiny*! [](http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/297778966/?ref=chrismessina.me)Ok, so check this out. Go grab the [YourMinis extension](http://blog.yourminis.com/extension/index.html?ref=chrismessina.me) ([recently updated](http://blog.yourminis.com/extension/index.html?ref=chrismessina.me)!) and install it in Firefox. Restart, as usual, and now, whenever you're on a page with microformatted content, you can launch the extension to "suck out" the data and toss it into your app of choice... It only gets better from here as [YourMinis](http://www.yourminis.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) can be used to unify your experience across sites... So if you thought that [semantic web is only good for HTML](http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the%5Froad%5Fto%5Fthe.php?ref=chrismessina.me), well, guess again... especially with the [Adobe-Mozilla deal in place](http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/11/07/gang-warfare-web-20-style/?ref=chrismessina.me), expect more *very interesting* developments in the microformats-slash-rich-interface department very soon.
