I completely agree. Zemanta accomplishes exactly what it has set out to do.

Hi,

I wrote a FireFox extension that helps bloggers easily add links to their posts. It uses Google search for link suggestions (not only Wikipedia) and OpenCalais for the semantic analysis.
It’s still alpha code, but I think it’s already useful and fun to use.
Check it out in kaalga.com
Would love to hear what you think.

Thanks, Amit.

[...] I reviewed Zemanta quite a while back as a very decent idea but with still a ways to go on proper implementation. Today I happened to read a review on one of my favorite sites, The Web Worker Daily. And their verdict is the same as mine. the images just don’t cut it yet. [...]

@FiZ: makes sense. Sometimes abstract technological things are the hardest to create good suggestions for.

If you would be willing to donate an extra minute to Zemanta by giving us a copy of this article (either here, or to my mail – jure@zemanta.com), I’ll make sure our engineers take a very good look at it, and that by our next iterations people with similar blogging style, will not want to hurt us.

thanks!

I was equally intrigued by the idea of Zemanta but turned off by the poor execution just the same. I wrote an article and got tags and links for things like the wikipedia definition for “site” and a link to Blogger when I’m writing about CSS 3 and webkit vs. mozilla. I thought “maybe it just needs more content to work with”, but like the village idiot, the more time I gave it, the stupider it got. The image was a screenshot of the gmail login page and the tags made as much sense as the links (which is, to say: none). It’s a great idea, but such a hideously flawed implementation that I’d rather stab the developers in the face with a toaster for even considering this product an alpha, god forbid- a finished piece of software.

@katherine: I’d be very interested if you can do a comparison. Both services offer tags, but from very different viewpoints on what is actually a tag.

@vaibhav: Images are 1/4 of Zemanta. What about the rest?

@Aliza: I haven’t tried Zemanta…yet. I’m half tempted to give it a try as the Calais add-in isn’t giving me fantastic results. It could be struggling to make sense of my sarcastic tone and Australian lingo though! ;-)

You are not alone, I read this review of Zemanta some time back, the main point is the same, the images suck The Review

@Katherine: you tried tagging with Zemanta? Any comparison on which tags you like more? :)

@Roberto: Well question of other languages is much much deeper, we have to support it throughout the stack, add linguistical processing for that specific language, etc. Just giving related news in Spannish would be very half baked.

Not bad, not bad. I’ve been playing with it a little bit and, although it has some problems with the context (which is to be expected) not all the results are bad and the tagging also works fine, specially considering that I tested it on a Spanish language blog.

It’d be nice if it could detect the language set on the blog and refer to sources in that language. Something for a later version?
