How Semantic Tools Fail Us

I was reading at the Zemanta blog about new ways to use that company’s technologies, and I saw the following story:

The story is about Net News Daily’s use of Zemanta. Fine. At the bottom the Zemanta guys are using their own technology to search for related stories, which would be fine if they were other stories about Zemanta use, or how Net News Daily and perhaps other media sites are using tools to help them. But instead we see three stories from Net News Daily on unrelated topics. (I thought the one entitled Site Update might have mentioned Zemanta, but it doesn’t.)

This is why I am not generally using tools like this: they would have to work to the point where I don’t have to monitor if the results are good or not, because otherwise it just creates make work for me.
