A Hello! (And a new extension...)

Hi,

I'm a little late to the game, having not picked up on the
specifics  
of Microformats until the dConstruct '06 talk. Since then we
(a small  
group) have been toying with the possibility of a new
browser  
extension; and have recently made it a reality. We are a
little guilty  
of just getting our heads down & working, when maybe we
should have  
been participating a little here...

A tiny handful of people have seen the alpha version - and
we're  
presently desperately trying to fix the major issues. We'd
really like  
the community's feedback next; and I will make the
beta-ready version  
available within the week (you can have the alpha if you
_really_ want  
- but I do not recommend it! - just email me).

The tentative website for the extension, WebCards, is  
http://webcards.w
hymicroformats.com (under a few articles I wrote -  
and would also appreciate any critique of - at  
http://www.whymicrofor
mats.com).
As a very brief overview, it enables inline usage of
Microformats  
(click on it in a page to get more functionality) and to
create them  
for rapid deployment into blogs, forums, comments, etc.

Yours,
Andy

PS I've just got word that Sam Sethi, who was one of the few
alpha  
testers, has just posted an article with WebCards in it, at
