Zemanta - a first try

Yes it's a 912, a survivor of the 60s. There i...Image via Wikipedia

Earlier today I noticed that ScribeFire is working now with Zemanta - a tool which, according to their website, gives you -the blogger- some kind of picture and article support.

Zemanta is also checking "in real-time" the blog entry you're typing at the moment and suggests things like labels, links and corresponding resp. relating articles throughout the web.

There's a similar add-on for WordPress - called Taggaroo, which, as far as I was able to research, is a little bit "smaller in the functions" than Zemanta.

So, let's see this entry as some kind of test for Zemanta.

As you can see it contains already several links & URL, suggested by Zemanta (eg. the link to ScribeFire's website or the referring Wikipedia articles for blogger and website. Also those "related articles" are suggested by this add-on...


Now... let's insert a picture.

Due to the fact that with the text so far the pictures are not really good (c'mon... why do I get a pic of various FireFox logos like the one I show you?!?)

So, here are the "sample words" to activate the picture tool / support...
Singapore, Porsche, Stuttgart, Asia, Europe, World, Spargel, Kabel, Marlboro

Nice - the whole article so far results in 120 possible pictures... but unfortunately most of them are w/out any fitting context to this test...
Looks like you have to write about a real "subject" to get better results.
Secondly, it seems that you can't move the pics (at least here @ blogger.com) free around... they are just placed below like shown...

Will see what the results will be when I start my next travel-blog in October... ;-)
(YES... me is going down to Asia again... and of course it will be blogged as in the past)


Here are some related articles suggested by Zemanta, based on the text so far...
