Zemanta Firefox Plugin Can Read Your Mind!


Well almost anyway. This cool new Firefox Plugin works with several platforms to provide you with an ingenious way of posting your blog content. Not only will it supplement your post with related images, links and more. Ideal for you guys who read Easy WordPress to play around with while posting your blog posts.

zemanta

Zemanta was only just launched on 26 March this year and is already making waves. The Plugin supports the following platforms:

  • WordPress Dot com
  • Blogger
  • Self hosted WordPress (upwards of version 2.0)
  • Typepad

It creates a semantic platform that tries to think while you write and provides you with relevant data that you could use to support your posts.

The guys on Zemanta are also working on adding a function that will allow you to integrate your own links using their Firefox Plugin.

Where are the articles pulled from?

The articles are from over 300 indexed top media sources as well as several blogs within the network.

What about copyright issues?

The content which is provide by Zemanta is cleared by copyright or listed clearly as creative commons material. The images are suggested by sources like Flickr and Wikimedia commons.

Presently the Plugin is only supported for the English speaking community.

The idea behind this software is that it will save you time in trolling the web while looking for relevant links and pictures to add to your blog post. I have yet to test this as I just came across the news now and thought to give you a heads up so you can go and check it out yourself.

Just remember, you’ll need to have Firefox installed on your computer as this is a Firefox Plugin.

    Sounds cute. I almost thought you can insert the whole content. From what I understand from their video, it’s actually like a source for images and related links ya?

    @ Kay: yes, you are correct. I trialled it yesterday in my own blog and then my post went missing and I didn’t have a backup.

    Serves me right for not using Live Writer. Lucky for me though I’m subscribed to my own updates via feed and this allowed me to copy/paste the lost post back into Live Writer. LOL, technology – go figure.
