Today we’re happy to announce that we are adding hCalendar microformat to Dingbee. The idea behind Microformats is very simple: to use information that is already published in a web page and export it to be reusable in other ways. For example Microformats on Dingbee provides you to extract and save all information regarding an event. You can also save the event information to your native or online calendar application easily.

Search engines, including Google and Yahoo, are now indexing microformats and using them in search results. This standardization allows search engines to discover, index, and display better results from Dingbee to their users.

Many sites have been working to integrate Microformats into their systems, however most of the web browsers today do not have built-in support for Microformats. But you can still enjoy its features by using browser plug-ins and bookmarklets until it is widely available. Dingbee from today is ready for Microformats.

This is one of the many other features that we’re working to make Dingbee more useful.
