A test post using Zemanta
I read Mike Butcher’s post on Zemanta (at Techcrunch UK) and thought I’d give it a try. Installation was a snap. Now, it’s telling me it will update and provide suggestions in 110 characters (make that 96).
Something I setup yesterday for Pikum was a twitter profile that will be focused on twittering about sports. Twitsports. Twitter is an interesting platform for discussion of sports as things happen during a game, day, etc… Check it out.
An interesting thing about Zemanta.. It tells you when the next update will be, but it doesn’t tell you that you can click on that area and it will update immediately. If they changed the text to “Update in 275 characters or click to update now” - it would increase usability.
Overall, I really like the product. I know it will help me increase the number of relavent links in my blog posts. Great product guys.

[…] Following Sean’s lead I am now trying out Zemanta (See WTC’s review as well). It seems to be pretty slick, but I only worry about the privacy implications. […]

It would be cool to integrate your Twitsports with your blog. Maybe in a siderbar?
