Its been quite some time since i switched to Zemanta. The thing works like cakewalk. I got to know about it through Fred Wilson. He has hosted it on his own blog. Being an early adopter, i could not stop myself in putting it on the pages. It turns out to be a good blogging assistant. I plan to continue using it for some time atleast. Zemanta has contributed to an image and a couple of links below each blog post. I do not use the linking and tagging feature much.

Zemanta can be better undertood as an elderly learned fellow who takes a look at your scriblings and suggests that you can augment the draft with subtle links, pictures, links and tags. Reminds me of a university professor who used to send detailed mails after reading the initial drafts of papers :) .

I would like to see the support for standard blogging clients like scribefire, as well as ability to pick up things from the same blog in order to redice the cross reference time.

I used scribefire to write this post. I saved it as draft, logged into the client and zemantified it before showing it the browser window.

  • We're happy that you're enjoying your Zemanta experience.

    Regarding your wishes:

    - if you sign-in into preferences (bottom right of the Zemanta widget) you can setup a few things that will make Zemanta more personalized: Flickr account, Twitter/Facebook/MyBlogLog (we'll automatically recognize people you follow in your blog posts) and personal feeds. You can then just add your own blog feed and a few others to Zemanta and when you use "My Stuff" button you'll get personalized it against your blog.
    - integration with different blogging tools is also being worked on. We've released API and SDK for Zemanta and are working with a number of them for more tight integration. It's up to them and their roadmaps to how and when they'll integrate Zemanta.

    Let me know if you have any questions or ideas about Zemanta - jure@zemanta.com

    Jure Cuhalev, Zemanta
