Rich Snippets, jReviews and Google

In May of 2009, Google announced the inclusion of Rich Shippets in their result pages.  You may have seen stars displaying in the Google search results, these stars are due to the addition of microformatting code to the page.

Since learning about this cool new feature I (along with several others in the jReview forums) have been adding this code to our review sites.

This post is a collection of information and link from websites, forum threads, and blog posts I have used to learn about Rich Snippets.
