#“Migrating Google Rich Snippets to schema.org” If youve been using microformats or RDFa to mark up your Google Rich Snippets, sorry, you backed the wrong horse via diveintomark.org Shakes fist at one of his tech heroes but shouldn't be too hard to change TBH. One question: If Google is already showing your Rich-Snippet Reviews based on hreview with stars in the SERPs, will moving to microdata markup drop you off the SERPs again and force you to re-apply yet again on their ridiculous non-web-scale Google Docs Form? »

#“schema.org - About Bloody Time” This site provides a collection of schemas, i.e., html tags, that webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search providers. Search engines including Bing, Google and Yahoo! rely on this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages. via schema.org 5.5 years ago, I had the idea for a reviews aggregator site built on hreview. »

#“Anyone working on Creative Commons School Books?” The cost of schoolbooks remains an enormous problem for a lot of people. If you have more than one child, you can rarely do hand-me-downs, particularly in Secondary School. The publishers relentlessly issue new versions that are different enough to make it impossible to have multiple editions in one classroom.Given that Maths, History, English, Irish, Physics etc, don't actually change much except with curriculum changes, does it not make sense for community-minded Irish educators to work together and generate Creative Commons versions of books? »

#“SwiftKey X - Instantly the best on-screen Android Keyboard” via androidcommunity.com Thanks to @eske for pointing this one out. I gave up on Swype months ago when its accuracy went to hell. Stock Gingerbread is fine but feels fiddly. I've been using SwiftKey X for less than an hour and I'm a complete convert already. Free whilst in Beta. »

#“Orson Scott Card Comments About Ender’s Game on Amazon” 1,661 of 1,731 people found the following review helpful: The Author Says a Few Words About Style, September 7, 1999 By A Customer This review is from: Ender's Game (Paperback) First, I’m embarrassed, as the author, that I have to give a rating in “stars” in order to comment here. But since I do have to do so, I’m not about to bring down the average by rating my own book any less than five <grin>. »

#“Inexpensive Android Open Accessory Kit” via androidcommunity.com $80 is a steal. My biggest takeaway from Google IO was Open Accessory. The importance of it was missed by all the web ninjas. I fully expect to see companies like PCH delivering on products using this standard in 2011. »

#“Slight screw-up by Facebook in move to https” As you probably know, Facebook are transitioning over to https for security reasons. You can opt-in now but it will be mandatory in the coming months.
