Add rel="me" to website links I have a simple feature request - adding rel="me" to links on a .tel page. This is becoming an increasingly popular XFN identity value to associate links with specific people and businesses, used by things such as Google's Social Graph API. It's becoming more and more important for SEO purposes, as well as for general web presence. Facebook has recently adopted this, automatically appending rel="me" to webpages. You can see this in the source on my Facebook page https://facebook.com/ryangoldstein Code:
[size] This rel="me" is only valid with symmetric linking, so both sites must have a link pointing to the other with rel="me", to prove that both sites represent the same person (or business). This is why it's critical for Telnic to adopt it! Thanks, -Ryan[/size] |
We'd have to see how that could be implemented in the management UI. Doing this automatically for all the web URIs (as facebook does) would be easy but probably not correct. Having to manage that for each URI might be tricky, and generally overkill, as well. Unless we default to rel="me" for all web URIs, and let the person decide whether to trigger the rel by implementing (or not) the symmetric link on the other side. That would be a trivial change on the web proxy. |

That's what I was thinking; unless it's implemented on the other end, rel="me" will have no effect. I don't see any downside to having it appended to every web URI.[/size] |
I vote for this, I have nothing else constructive or deconstructive to say it sounds good to me. |
