I upset some colleagues with my attitude, and others agreed, but i did predict it would not make it the year. And I was correct, it all fell down, sad to say. BUT the work we did was so important to the emerging "web 2.0". Sadly, it's gone now mostly, remnants are snapshots.

If you were around for those years, you might remember when XHTML and how Web Review (my fault, yes lol) went forward with it for our markup, served as text/html at that time. At any rate, I did manage to dig up a lot of stuff that is really pretty cool or "WTF?" depending. ;)

Who remembers and or used these resources, and if so, can you give some insight into your own participation, memories, and what you think about that time in Web history? I'd love to see that time documented. Photo is all Web Review editors ever! Guess who's in it if you can see!

I starting learning html in early 2000’s, I definitely used those resources. I got to help out the microformats people a bit by distilling their markup into a cheat sheet later on, but otherwise I was a consumer of information.

I promoted and gave a few talks on microformats. I like the powerful simplicity of them. I however a bit startled though when @tantek asked what attributes beyond rel we could exploit.😊 but we don't see either lowercase or uppercase semantic web anymore.

I always saw them as the building blocks for web accessibility. Seeing you both, and the other speakers in Vancouver really kicked my interest into high gear. My friend @girlGeek got me into it. Organized code was our swoon moment. 😂

Now you're making me long for days of old but we can't look back it is what it is I don't like it but I think we need some kind of organization I really do I think we need to focus and make better decisions raise the quality of work all the way around!

Totally agree. I moved into the people and process side of things since then but it’s a worthy goal. My kid is just getting into this stuff so having a similar situation meant for under 18’s would be a great starting point.

You have an 18-year-old son wow congrats on raising an adult impressive. I am definitely all about the human and social issues now. It's what I always was but I'm just more enveloped than that instead of studyingrwcs and specs to their tiniest details 😊
