This is a service that, given a URL as input, will open the del.icio.us info page for the URL in your favorite browser. Here's an example of an info page.

The service was written in zsh shell-script and turned into a service with ThisService.

Launch Scripts from Webpage Links
AppleScript applications can interact with websites displayed on your computer to perform tasks and display information. This is done through the process of the AppleScript application registering itself with the OS as the handler of specific URL protocols and schemes.

The following describes how to create your own helper script applications.

THE INFO.PLIST FILE

When you save the script as an application bundle, it will contain the standard Mac OS X bundle elements including an XML property list file defining important aspects of the script application.

To access the Info.plist property list, click on the script application with the Control key held down to access the Finder Contextual Menu. Choose Show Package Contents from this menu to open the script application bundle in a new window. Open the Contents folder within the new window to reveal the Info.plist file. Open this file in a text or property list editor and add the following XML keys and values to the property list.

To identify the Application, add the following lines to the property list, replacing the blue placeholder text shown here with a unique bundle identifier for your application:

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.AppleScript.WebpageHelper</string>
To identify the URL handler that triggers the applet, add the following item to the property list, replacing the blue text with title of your URL protocol and the URL scheme of your protocol:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>Webpage Helper</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>webpagehelper</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>

hDOAP is a microformat-like convention (i.e. a dialect of XHTML containing embedded data) used to express Description of a Project (DOAP) data in XHTML. This document describes and defines the hDOAP profile. GRDDL may be used to extract machine-readable data from the document.
Status

* 2008-08-09 - unchanged apart from rewording intro to make clear this is not an official microformat (because it wasn't produced by the microformats.org process. For some reason the XSLT is no longer working with W3C service, though is ok with xsltproc - @@TODO fix.
* 2005-05-29 - almost finished, some less common elements need adding to the stylesheets, minor bug (empty release is added)

@@TODO add references to relevant docs
Creating hDOAP Documents

There are (at least) two ways of creating a hDOAP document. The first is to use an HTML editor and include the attributes for CSS as structured in this sample : redland-doap.html (describes the Redland RDF Toolkit).

The second is to create a standard DOAP file and run it through the XSLT transformation described below. The DOAP-a-matic provides a very easy way of creating the DOAP.

Those that use Firefox with the Tails extension, read no further. This is not for you. You have it given to you on a plate, you don’t know how lucky you are. This is for those of us using Camino, Safari or Omniweb.

After I mocked up an image of how Microformats detection might work in Safari, I started looking at the tools there were available. While there wasn’t anything that handled detection, Tantek did release his bookmarklets to allow hCard and hCalendar information to be exported from a page. Nothing in the region of Tails where you could view a list and choose which contacts/events you wanted, but it worked. This just left some way of handling detection, until I came across Chris Casciano’s script for NetNewsWire to Extract Microformats. It was a simple solution too – use css to style .vcard and .vevent classes differently.

So I’ve knocked up one of my own as a starting point. Here it is in action on Adactio, a rich harvest of microformats to be highlighted:

Here’s the file to download: expose-mf.css

It may work better with some designs than others. So far, I’ve not come

Xhtml Friends Network

XFN™ (XHTML Friends Network) is a simple way to represent human relationships using hyperlinks. In recent years, blogs and blogrolls have become the fastest growing area of the Web. XFN enables web authors to indicate their relationship(s) to the people in their blogrolls simply by adding a 'rel' attribute to their <a href> tags, e.g.:

<a href="http://jeff.example.org" rel="friend met">...

To find out how to write and use XFN, or to write a program to generate or spider it, read the following sections:

Class Names Across All Microformats

Microsummaries are regularly-updated short summaries of web pages. They are compact enough to fit in the space available to a bookmark label, they provide more useful information about pages than static page titles, and they get regularly updated as new information becomes available.

Here are examples of possible microsummaries for some common types of pages:
Type of Page Possible Microsummary
auction item Honda Accord - $5000 - 1 minute left
(item name, current highest bid, and time remaining)
product for sale Linksys WRT54G - $60 - in stock
(product name, current price, and availability)
news site BBC: Chirac to sign France's job law
(latest headline)
word of the day flat-hat
(today's word)
stock quote TWX: 16.94 + 0.30
(stock price and movement)
weather report SF: showers likely
(current forecast)
tinderbox 3 burning

The Resource Description Framework RDF allows users to describe both Web documents and concepts from the real world—people, organisations, topics, things—in a computer-processable way. Publishing such descriptions on the Web creates the Semantic Web. URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) are very important, providing both the core of the framework itself and the link between RDF and the Web. This document presents guidelines for their effective use. It discusses two strategies, called 303 URIs and hash URIs. It gives pointers to several Web sites that use these solutions, and briefly discusses why several other proposals have problems.

Regular Expression Generator

This tool let's you generate a regular expression to check urls against before sending them to Embedly. Because we offer so many services, this tool lets you limit the services to only the ones you want.

Codeigniter, by default crafts it’s URL in a search engine friendly format. It uses a segment-based approach and does away with the all familiar querystring format that developers have been using for many years to pass parameters via the URL into their applications.

Codeigniter does allow you to turn on the querystring capability, but that would mean you have to use a pure querystring approach, foregoing the segment-based approached.

So, is it possible to mix segments and querystring?

Thankfully, Codeigniter can be configured to mix the segments and querystring, and all it takes are some tweaks in your application/config.php file and perhaps an additional line of code.

# Input a string of text and encode or decode it as you like.
# Handy for turning encoded JavaScript URLs from complete gibberish into readable gibberish.
# If you'd like to have the URL Decoder/Encoder for offline use, just view source and save to your hard drive.
