For those of you familiar with micorsummaries, the headline says it all. For those who are un-familiar with microsummaries, please keep reading to find out what they are and how to use them.
Microsummaries:
Microsummaries are regularly-updated short summaries of web pages. They are compact enough to fit in the space available to a bookmark label, they provide more useful information about pages than static page titles, and they get regularly updated as new information becomes available. Microsummaries are better for labeling bookmarks than static page titles, because they give users quicker access to the most interesting information behind a bookmark, and they give web sites a way to notify users of updates and entice them to revisit the site. Markdown Monkey's microsummary always shows the latest deal.
