I enjoy playing around with new “toys”, so I was delighted to get an email earlier this evening from one of the Zemanta team earlier this evening to let me know that they’d added support for Movable Type.
The concept behind Zemanta is intriguing. It’s a browser plugin that integrates with serveral of the more popular blogging platforms via your browser. Once you’ve composed a blog post of 300 characters or more it will make suggestions for images, links and other content.
As they describe it themselves:
Have your browser understand what you are blogging about and suggest
pictures, links, articles and tags to make your posts more vibrant. We are making blogging fun again.
The images are pulled from a variety of sources, but they assure users that they are all copyright cleared ie. you won’t be getting any nastygrams from people’s legal teams asking you to remove them!
Although the people at Zemanta only officially support Firefox I’m working away quite happily using the plugin on Swiftweasel, which is a derivative.
