      Just wondering whether Mozzer's have a preference when marking up rich snippets.

      I have just added Opengraph as per a Whiteboard Friday presentation suggesting that Google will use the meta data as well as schema, mainly for purposes of socially sharing the website details, and I have also used Schema for marking up an address, telephone number, and email.

      Is this the right way to do things?

      What are your thoughts?

        May as well kick-start the responses! I'm a Schema fan, it's easy to implement and gives Google and other search engines the information they need.

        I don't think you need to be too concerned about one over the other so long as your microformat is, in an of itself, correctly implemented. An advantage of using Schema is that you can use Google Webmaster Tool to check your rich snippet so you have confidence to know it's done right.

        But I'm just one opinion 🙂
