1. Comment - Zemanta provides amusement, embellishments for bloggers

   (Dec 3, 2008 - 12:25 PM)

   It's great to see someone reviewing this side of Zemanta. It's true, depending on the style of text it sometimes get confused. The experience is of course much better with real blog posts as we optimize the whole system for that.
   
   Overall, we try to work with bits of information we have. That's most obvious with Flickr where we have to work with user-tagged content, while for Wikimedia Commons we can usually provide image that's a perfect match for topic.
   
   We decided that at the end of the day, we leave full editorial control to blogger. No recommendation is inserted without your explicit click. We've found that many bloggers actually enjoy recommendations that are a bit off, since they provide brainstorming content and also other points of view.
   
   Another thing that we implemented to give more control to bloggers is "filter" button, that allows you to enter keywords and this will then influence results.
   
   If anyone has questions or would like more specific answers about Zemanta, I'm happy to respond, either here or via email.
