Can't find a use? It's being used by some very popular sites right now and (I believe) will only continue to gain strength. The vCard/hCard setup through technorati makes it very easy - and it doesn't require browsers, higher technology, or plugins. It just requires clicking on a link. Just as Jeremy Keith has pointed out, there are MANY places to implement/use microformats on websites. To me, this is just another step to more meaningful content (with the added benefit of hooks for JS/CSS). I don't use them on my personal site (yet - until relaunch). I am however using them on 2 projects I am working on right now. I agree the documentation is a little ’scary’ to some, but microformats REALLY are dead simple.

But then I followed this trackback and well, enough said!
