A Chrome extension to display microformats on a page

Michromeformats

What is it?

It displays any microformats on the page and supports hCard, hCalendar, hReview, hReview-aggregate and hRecipe.

hCards and hCalendars can be exported to your computer so you can add contacts to an address book or calendar. Or, connect to your Google account and import contacts to your Google Contacts or Google Calendar.

Inspiration came from Remy Sharp’s awesome Microformats Bookmarklet, which got its inspiration from Jon Hick’s proposed Safari plugin.
