Thanks a lot. That was a great post. Definitly it helped me to understand the differents between both.

In my opinion now both are value. Microformats are easier but just are an aproximation to semantic web. I’ll bet to RDFa on my web sites

As James said above microformats seem easier. But it’s not like RDFa is hard to implement either. I like the fact that RDFa is extensible and more importantly searchable by SPARQL.

According to Berners Lee it is this (last mentioned feature) which would enable meaning to be transformed to linked data and web 3.0.
(or maybe i got that wrong )

I have been reading about this all night trying to decide which one to use. To me Micoroformats seem a lot easier to use. When I first started looking at it it was much more intuitive for me to use that one, at least as it relates to basic things. But it seems that as it evolves over time that RDFa will have more flexibility and be adopted more widely. Still as a development company it is our intent to support both until there is a different option. Both meaning one or the other on a particular site, not both at the same time on the same site hopefully.
