For some reason I find this amazing! I just noticed that Zemanta is integrating FriendFeed posts as some of it's related articles suggestions. Still wrapping my head around the implications.

Wow - that is interesting. Content is content, regardless of source. - Hutch Carpenter
Here are the articles in question. They're from Steve Rubel: http://friendfeed.com/e... & http://friendfeed.com/e... - Tac Anderson
Thanks for thinking "out load" here about this. It is very interesting, and good to know about. - Eric Herberholz
This is just another example of the Next Big Thing on the Internet: Data finds data. We have not seen the end of this. - Frode Stenstrøm
I hope so. I've been sending some FF entries to Zemanta so I can remember them for later blog posts. It's been working too. - Anika
Anika, how do you do this? by just including them in blog posts or do you compile them somewhere? - Tac Anderson
Andraz, how long have you guys been doing this? Is this a wide release or something that you're rolling out? - Tac Anderson
No, I use the Add Zemanta bookmarklet. - Anika
Anika, Interesting, thanks. I haven't been using the bookmarklet. I'll have to give it a try. - Tac Anderson
Anika, yeah, its cool I use it to remind me of blog posts too because marking them in FF often sends them into a black hole and fuhgeddaboudit! I also use Zemanta in email to send myself to add to my blog task list and the item gets added to the Zemanta roll by keyword when you do the blog later (hopefully). - Sally Church
Hey does that mean we gals are ahead of the guys? ;-) - Sally Church
Sally - always! - Hutch Carpenter
Sally, ITA about Zemanta in email. It's been saving me lately since the bookmarklet isn't working in Chrome. - Anika
Hutch ;-) - Sally Church
Sally - Wow, I thought I was up to speed on Zemanta usage but you girls are definitely putting me to shame. I gotta step up my game :) - Tac Anderson
Yeah good ideas, to find anything later on FF is like a needle in a hay stack - The Real sofarsoShawn
Does anyone use Zemanta with MyBlogLog? I've seen the links there but never used it. - WoH: Minding her Botts
This is funny. Friendfeed items inside Zemanta's suggestion pool are actually an unintended consequence of some infrastructural changes. :) I probably shouldn't have admitted that :). But hey, if users like it, this is just great! - Andraž Tori
Gonna keep 'em Andraž? - Hutch Carpenter
As @frodeste says, we're doing content-to-content recommendations, and this is just another type of them (more news coming in next weeks). - Andraž Tori
@Hutch yes, for now definitely (I am so busy I don't even have time to check what needs to be done to unkeep 'em :). Expect some more interesting content types in next weeks. - Andraž Tori
@Andraz I love the honesty. What I really want to know is what kind of changes caused such a serendipitous 'accident'. (No need to spill, just wondering out loud). That makes the whole content/conversation distribution/re-aggregation all the more fascinating. It's like a time/space worm hole or something :) - Tac Anderson
this thread is a great example of why i love friendfeed :) - mike "glemak" dunn
Zemanta simply rocks. Even the accidents are gems:) - Sameer
Well we now just launched first of new types of content we support - music via last.fm rich widgets. some more in the pipeline :) - Andraž Tori
