Zemanta Integrated With Wordpress.com

Zemanta has announced a partnership with Wordpress.com, so that bloggers using that platform will have direct access to Zemanta’s technology.

I have been using Zemanta on my various blogs (stoweboyd.com, underpaidgenius.com) and it is a great support. In my case, Zemanta is a Firefox plug-in that does a lexical analysis of your post in the editor mode, and recommends related articles and photos based on the topics you discuss.

Here’s the plug-in’s recommendations for a recent post of mine:

By simply clicking on Zamanta’s recommendations, members of my reading community will see links to supporting information. It’s very easy for the author, and provides more context for the reader.

Zemanta has relationships with SixApart’s Movable Type, Blogger.com and Scribefire. I use it with Tumblr, although that is not a business relationship: it just works. Zemanta reaches far more than 30% of the blogging population now.

[I just wish I could use it other types of Tumblr posts: at the moment it is limited to ‘Text’ posts, like this one. I especially would like it to work with link posts, but there is no reason that Zemanta’s great dev team can’t figure it out.]
