The ‘longtail’ of bloggers will find the semantic layer offered by Zemanta very useful in doing a thorough research for their upcoming blog posts besides offering their visitors enhanced & enriched content. This browser based addon which currently works only for Wordpress, Blogger and Typepad enables bloggers to find and append similar & related semantically smart content from their index of 300 top media sources & other Zemanta user blogs. Their recommendation engine analyses posts to provide contextual images, links & tags suggestions. Their not-so distant competitors ‘Sphere It‘ & Proximic allows visitors reactively find contextual content across blogosphere. Zemanta is aiming to be the blogger’s geeky friend. Their future feature rich iterations should definitely enhance blogger’s experience. This is a good beginning for the semantic web.

    Hi from Zemanta!

    Glad to hear your thoughts. Have you also tried the extension out? We would very much like to get the feedback since we try to move into direction our users would expect.

    If you do try it out, please contact us via email or getsatisfaction.com/zemanta about any troubles, ideas, issues or compliments :)

    (it’s a bit hard for us to follow all the people talking about it on the blogs, so please don’t mind inviting you to email)

    bye

    I was initially somewhat skeptical of Zemanta, but have slowly started to fall in love with it. There is nothing quite like clicking a few bottons and easily adding pictures and links to your blog posts.

    However, I have noticed that several of my clients are using “Sphere” and I am not quite sure of how it is different or better…or not.
