Baking some Web3.0 Cherry Pie

So lets look at an exmaple that hits close to home. Lets make a cherry pie using hot ingredients off the shelves today. So you take 250ml of chopped Cherrypicka, mix in a pinch of your own blog and deep fry it in some boiling Muti.

Cherrypicka is a local new service that allows you to buy products at way below the retail price, use the product and then review it to tell others and the guy whose product it was what you think. Kick-ass idea!
Now instead of you reviewing it by sending an email to the Cherrypickas or doing it on their site, you use the hReview microformat to create a blog post (that is if you have your own blog). You then send your permalink using a pingback API (much like Technorati) to notify Cherrypicka that you have reviewed a product bought from their site. Cherrypicka’s API then parses the post, picks up the hReview and saves it to their database for display on their site. Now the product is getting double the exposure.
Muti comes along and build in something that scans submissions for the hReview microformat and should it find one it “files” it in a special section on the Muti site dedicated to reviews. We can now go to Muti and read the reviews there and vote it up or down. Now the product gets triple exposure.
Google decides to implement a microformat search engine, indexes your blog post, picks up the review and saves it to their microformat seach engine. Someone goes to microformats.google.com (hypothetical, remember?) search for reviews on condoms for example and picks up the Pronto Condoms reviewed by someone who bought it from Cherrypicka. Who knows how much more exposure the product can get now?!
So how does the dish taste?! Leaves a subtle sweet taste in my mouth. HMMMM…
This is a simple example. Apply the same concept to movies that you might want to review or events that you attended. Really powerful stuff! All we need now is a local Microformats search engine…

  So Stii, are you going to create a Sematic Web category we can subscribe to for news on that emerging topic (I subscribe to your general feed already).

  Ah, yes Paul. Done.

  Nice ideas there Stii - and certainly value-added additions to the site and the Cherrypicka concept.

Spit it out!
