It looks obvious

Yesterday I wrote about extracting relevant data from the blogs, in today’s post I’ll write about initiative that is going to make that much easier. Structure Blogging dealing with tagging the information posted on blogs in

“machine-readable format so that other services can read and understand it. Think of structured blogging as RSS for your information. Now any kind of data - events, reviews, classified ads - can be represented in your blog.”

From the user perspective Structure Blogging will enable more flexibility in the design of the blogs forms. The user will be able to add specific field to different categories or to apply different styles to each category. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The real abilities laying in what search engine and aggregators can do with this XML. Categorizing in this model will allow specific services to collect and analyze content from blogs in very efficient way. The guys from companies like Travbuddy, for example, can use it to gather content about Trips and sites around the world and process it with useful service.

I looked at site of a company that is experimenting with Structure Blogging. They are trying to build the blogs for corporations as well as individual and making cool things with the flexible user interfaces and with what they call datablogging. I mostly like the ROI analysis, this only demonstrate that some people learn the lesson of Bubble 1.0. I’ll follow the progress reger.com making with great interest.
