Its time of Structure Blogging

Structure Blogging..
This is the most exciting feature of blogging. Blogging is basically a showcase to share ideas with world wide people. The idea behind structure blogging is that it can be more specific for the end users. As structure blogging contains XML and XHTML. Structure Blogging is the way to improve search result for bloggers and its reviewers.
Structured Blogging plugings embed information in both the HTML blog and the syndicated feed, applications can run in web browsers (like a Firefox plugin for comparison shopping which also reads product reviews); aggregators (such as one that adds your friend's calendar entries to your date book); or web services (like a feed for everyone who is attending the same conference as you).
I came to know about two parts of structure blogging, two websites are providing structure blogging search:
www.technorati.com (Support Lower Case Semantic Web)
www.pubsub.com (Support Upper Case Semantic web)
Now the question is that what is Lower Case Semantic Web and Upper Case Semantic Web?
Lower Case Semantic Web defined some MICROFORMATS and say that all data must have some XHTML classes which must be named in blogging type (like review, blog, event), XHTML can have these classes like: <div class="review">
Upper Case Semantic Web defined some SCHEMAS snd say that all data must be in XML format and must have some already defined tags like: <review> </review>
There are a lot of pros and cons of both formats. Lets see what are these... (I will come to cover this point in my next blog)

Benifits of Structured Blogging:
The plugins not only publishes structured content with microformats-compatible page tags and easily-parsed blocks of XML, but also flows the microcontent through all types of XML feeds (RSS 2.0, Atom and RSS 1.0) and also enables automatic conversion into RDF, and in future, OPML.
