Microformats

Since I completed my MBA several months ago, I have started the agonizing process of updating my resume (I've procrastinated long enough). During the updating process, I stumbled upon Micoformats, specifically hresume, which promises to allow applications and search engines to easily read and index your resume content so that you could point job posting sites to your resume instead of having to enter your information in for each one.

After some initial reading it seems like a promising solution and standard that may become mainstream (Linkedin uses it and Google is rumored to be adopting it as well). I've found little negative reports on it so far but found this coding horror post interesting.
