Zemanta

Keen eyed readers may have noticed a slight addition to my more recent posts in the shape of a reblog button. This is one of the features I am utilising since since signing up with Zemanta. Any user-created text (a blog post, article or web page) is directly “read” by Zemanta, which recognizes all contextual content. Zemanta then combs the web for the most relevant images, smart links, keywords and text, instantly serving these results to the user to enrich and inform their content. What’s more, Zemanta can be deployed on all major content publishing platforms and web browsers through a simple plug-in.

As an example, the image you see on the right (which shows how Zemanta seamlessly works with Blogger) was automatically suggested to me because I had typed the word Zemanta. The various links you see in this post were also automatically suggested beacause of the words I had typed.

If you use Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, Livejournal, Myspace, Gmail, Yahoo!Mail or many other platforms, you might like to give Zemanta a try.
