So I just downloaded Zemanta, to use for the blog that actually pays me to write. It's a little weird; upon opening this to write I get a 3x3 grid of pictures on the side of the page to use as inspiration, and it SWEARS it's going to give me suggestions soon on what pictures and links and little tags I might want to use in this post, based on what I've already written in the post, or something meta like that. So far, it has not provided any wry and sardonic observations about sports or music or drinking.
Update 1. I have been given a picture of, I believe, Everclear, and some ideas for tags to use in this blog, one of which is "Second Life." Isn't that what the Paultards use to pretend they still have some sort of social relevance?
New pictures. Still of mutherfucking Everclear, and now they're thinking it should be a tag of mine. What, exactly, is about that band from my first paragraph? Did I say that I would buy you a new house, where your roses can bloom?
Next update. Apparently I'm interested in fighting Paragraph 175, which I just looked up and was a German law banning homosexuality between men. Because between women? WAY hot. I've seen videos. Also, the tag suggestions believe I'm into shopping.
So what have we learned with this Zemanta preview? I love Everclear and gay sex (those two, really, though - hand in hand). Also, my blogs pertain to shopping and Second Life. So, I guess, so much for the sports and politics and music. Except, of course, for Everclear. Goddamn I love Everclear.
It's in my brain!

Wow, what suggestions. I'm sorry that we didn't work for you for this text. Zemanta works best with more classical blog posts. Writing just some stuff in order to get suggestions doesn't give us enough context to actually suggest relevant stuff to you, so you might get bad suggestions.
What I'd like to recommend to you is to keep Zemanta installed for a while. We sit unobtrusively within your writing space, so you will not have a problem writing and you can keep checking with a corner of your eye our suggestions while you write.
If you afterwards you still don't like you see, please drop me a mail to jure@zemanta.com with the text you think should get better matches for and I'll have our engineers tune the engine to work better for your writing styles.
Jure Cuhalev, Zemanta
