Zemanta has been very good to me this week, particularly for locating and inserting relevant pictures into blog posts. Try the bookmarklet today! http://labs.zemanta.com/bookmar...
Last night I needed headshots of two blogger friends and it quickly retrieved some nice ones off of Flickr. Earlier in the day I wanted a shot of the famed Rendezvous BBQ Nachos from Memphis's Redbirds baseball park and Zemanta unearthed a great CC-licensed shot which happened to have been uploaded by someone I know.

It's also good about dropping in captions and source links even though Blogger or Wordpress make that a bit harder than it needs to be.

Hi, Andraz from Zemanta Here. We always want to hear what else you would expect from a smart tool like Zemanta?

My #1 peeve with Zemanta at the moment is that it doesn't sense the caps and spacing I've used in my existing tags. If I've got a tag for "Sharepoint" and you recommend "Microsoft SharePoint" I'm quite likely to use yours and then unwittingly introduce clutter to my tagging system. Can you do a bit better job of scanning and matching my existing system?

Daniel, that would be next-to-impossible, firefox plug-in can't see your old posts. depending on the platform you are using, you could maybe instruct it to lower-case or camel-case all your tags, so that wouldn't be a problem anymore. Or maybe we should go lowercase only?
- Andraž Tori
I figured that would be difficult, but you deserved the truth all the same. Your tag implementation is frustrating to use. Probably WordPress's fault more than anything.

Daniel, thank you for information! This is important to know - haven't yet got complains about that. What about other kinds of suggestions and interaction, any complaints? Also what are other sources that you want suggested?
- Andraž Tori
Holy smokes, what a great tool! Never heard of Zemanta before, but can't wait to get home tonight to start using it with my WordPress blog. Thanks, Daniel!
