About

Acceptable Ads is a set of criteria defined by the independent Acceptable Ads Committee that allows publishers to reach ad-blocking users with respectful, non-intrusive and relevant ads.

XHTML Friends Network (XFN) is an HTML microformat that represents human relationships by adding metadata to hyperlinks between websites and profiles.

It defines a set of standardized link relationship values such as friend, colleague, spouse, and acquaintance through the HTML "rel" attribute, and may be used by blogs, social networks, and personal websites to describe social connections in a machine-readable format.
