Paul Walsh of Segala is up now. OK - they've written a browser extension that indicated in search results which sites are making declarations about their content. IE: a medical site could declare that it adhering to a code of practice. Others could declare that they are suitable for people with certain disabilities. It's sorta like metadata on steroids for websites.
I like this guy. He's talking in user experience terms. Like porn sites being able to declare that they aren't child-friendly. Responsible porn?
SearchThresher is the extension he's demonstrating. ContentLabel is the place to go for the labelling.

Thanks for your kind words Adam. I'm not sure if you meant to use Segata or not? Should one of your tags be segala?
BTW, I love the "It's sorta like metadata on steroids for websites." I'll be sure to use this on my blog and link to you :)
I hope you got somethng out of the evening - even if it meant meeting one decent person of a crisp.

Whoops. Thanks for pointing out that tag error - I was shattered last night and a few errors crept in...
Yes, I did enjoy the night. I was definitely a step or two behind in technical understanding compared to many there, but it did give me some useful insights into what future websites could look like.
