Introducing Operator - A Firefox addon for Microformats

If you arent farmiliar with Microformats you can get up to speed over at microformats.org. The Operator Firefox addon by Michael Kaply allows you to see what pages have microformat information embeded in them and allows you to do something with it.

It does what you expect, turns hCard info into downloadable vCards or shoots it over to your favorite email app. It turns hCalendar into iCal events for adding to Outlook, google calendar or yahoo calendar. Whats really cool is that its actions are extensible and are called “user scripts”. You can write your own user scripts targetted at whatever microformats you want to manipulate.

It also has a debug function which allows you to see the raw micformat data as well as view the html markup that defines it. An indespensible too for implementing microformats. Enjoy
