In response to my penultipate post, reader “David” (the other David?) xClaims: “Um, I don”t get it – what’s this for again? Is it a microformat or something? I herewith take xClaims are confounding.” My vote: Abstain + a Comment (infra):

I try you, David. And point had. Note to Self: bear on to elaborate messaging around Claimspace. Thanks for the feedback and hold open it deriving. As with any unreleased product and all on-key innovations (once more, other June), it’s tough to prognosticate how folks will employ Claimspace. Usage will take the messaging. But for whatever it’s deserving, I *love* your first xClaim! And I indicate out that you simply made the SECOND public xClaim, in history.

To your questions,

Question: “what’s this [an xClaim] for once more?”
Answer: An xClaim is an author-delineated, reader interactive rating/canvassing mechanism for the Web that enables a person to put forward that, ‘I made this resource and I like to be known in person or further the recognition of my resource on these terms [my claim]. What do you call up? Vote/Comment hither.’

Question: “Is it a microformat or something?”
Answer: An xClaim is a control, not a microformat…even so. For my thoughts on the difference between a control and a microformat, visit http://blogs.msdn.com/korbyp/archive/2007/04/12/microformats-are-like-rfid-tags-for-the-web.

For any demonstration sites that we leave (Tagspace and Claimspace are being planed as services, foremost and first, for inclusion in other Web sites), we are crack-interested in habituating bing microformats like rel , XFN , hCard , and hCalendar. For xClaims, in peculiar, we are currently enquiring the extent to which we can apply VoteLinks or whether we require to commence a conversation with the ok folks at microformats.org and elsewhere  to research a young microformat or extension of an bing one.
