I like Zamanta

by Eric D. Brown on April 2, 2008

In case you’ve noticed the little “Zemified” icon (and even if you haven’t), I’ve started using Zemanta on my blog and like it quite a bit. I’m running Wordpress and use the Zemanta Firefox plugin and think I will continue to use it. The ’suggested articles’ feature is great…I start typing a post and get a list of pictures, articles, links and tags to use in my posts…often times there are some non-relevant items but most times they are very relevant.

What I have found is that Zemanta is helping me to focus my message….if i’m writing an article about ‘perfection’ and getting articles about Calvin & Hobbs, I’m probably not saying what I should say :)
If you use Wordpress, Blogger or Typepad…check out Zemanta.

      I've always found myself at the intersection of business and technology and have loved it. For the majority of my career I've found myself working within information technology and telecom fields with a focus on managing software development, implementation, training, technical support and development of documentation. My main areas of focus are: Strategic Technology planning, Strategic Alignment, Technology Selection, Requirements Analysis, Human Capital Management Practices, Technology Management and Project Management, Content Management Systems (Sitecore, Interwoven, etc).

      I'm an amateur photographer. I've got some pictures posted for your viewing pleasure. I shoot a Canon 40D with the 28-135mm Kit lens. Am patiently waiting my Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM lens...when I get it, you'll know :) Enjoy...and be kind to my almost good pictures :)

      Unlike me, my wife Tracie is a great photographer. You can see her work at a moment to keep photography. Give her a call if you need/want some photography work done...she's open to traveling to you too (expenses paid of course). :)

      Tracie shoots a Canon 5D with a few different lenses for various occassions (Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM).
