Microsummaries

Joey Addon detects if a page has an RSS link, and allows the end-user to upload it to the remote Joey cloud. If there are other meaningful links associated with the current web page, Joey Addon wants to be sensitive to this information, highlight these linked types, and probably provide specific shortcut functions so the end-user can store these content/types. By identifying microsummaries, we can also add value to an URL that is already in the Joey cloud. This section organizes some of the popular microsummaries. Our end-goal is to improve Joey's addon detection so that the information stored in the server can have more value, more links to related value, and use less data space.

List of interesting micro summaries:

• geo

<span class='geo' style='display:none'><span class='latitude'>-23.529366</span><span class='longitude'>-46.628379</span></span>
