Search Integration
Vertical search aggregation allows sites to become known for particular topics and attain search engine visibility. To this end, it uses microformats as a glue to integrate blogging and folksonomy tagging.
Microformats are pre-agreed, human friendly ways of formatting web posts so that machines can process them. Microformats exist for calendar entries, reviews, tagging web posts, and tagging links in link blogs. In brief, microformats are like templates in Microsoft Word but aimed at the open format world-wide web.
