Zemanta analyzes user-generated content (for example a blog post) using natural language processing and semantic search technology to suggest pictures, tags and links to related articles.
Zemanta suggests content from Wikipedia, Youtube, IMDB, Amazon.com, Crunchbase, Flickr, ITIS, Musicbrainz, Mybloglog, Myspace, NCBI, Rottentomatoes, Twitter, Facebook, Snooth and Wikinvest, as well as the blogs of other Zemanta users.
Zemanta’s understanding of the content (e.g. whether “Apple” refers to a fruit or a company) can be embedded into the content using Common Tag for semantic tagging.
Originally released for use by bloggers, Zemanta is available as a Firefox and Internet Explorer extension and plugins for Wordpress, Blogger, TypePad, Ning, MySpace, LiveJournal, MovableType, Tumblr, Drupal and Joomla. It is now also available for use with web-based email systems like Gmail and Yahoo mail[2], and an Outlook add-in is in development.
Zemanta is server based software, so the server does all the hard work and the plugins simply communicate with the server to retrieve suggestions.
Other companies have used Zemanta’s API to add content suggestion to their products, for example hover.in, Triond, RetailFans and Bukisa.
Zemanta is based in part on TextGarden content analysis software from Slovenia’s Jožef Stefan Institute national research institute.

About Being Lijit !
“well-founded: well reasoned and sincere!”
I have decided to add a few comments about Lijit are they award winning who knows ! Sincere is a very interesting term it can be well used or Just what I call Semantic Jazz-I have installed Lijit on my weblogs and not being a Teche I have asked for help, from most applications asking for tech support is for the most part shaking hands with and empty glove-I am beginning to think that Geeks who add contact forms add them because they have nothing else to do and feel it makes them look like they care about their clients ,I have never been refused assistance of any kind from Lijit and I full well understand tech support is costly ! I also know that at times it may be frustrating for a professional programmer to constantly answer questions that are second nature to them ! For years I have followed the Science of General Semantics and it has a lot of teach people about communication ! The Tech Support at Lijit seems to be framed around Effective Communication ! Maybe the Folks at Lijit Read A few pages From S I ,
Professionally, Hayakawa was a psychologist, semanticist, teacher and writer. He was an instructor at the University of Wisconsin from 1936 to 1939 and at the Armour Institute of Technology from 1939 to 1947. Hayakawa was an important semanticist. His first book on the subject, Language in Thought and Action, was published in 1949 as an expansion of the earlier work, Language in Action, written since 1938 and published in 1941 to be a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. It is currently in its fifth edition and has greatly helped popularize Alfred Korzybski’s general semantics and in effect semantics in general, while semantics or theory of meaning was overwhelmed by mysticism, propagandism and even scientism. In the preface, Hayakawa cautioned: Respectfully Submitted Marshal Sandler

The following essay is also my Forbes.com column for August. Media Companies Must Divide To Conquer The media is something that for most, if not all, of our adult lives, we have taken for granted. Media giants form the terra firma of the marketing industry, both its paid and earned disciplines. They provide the lifeblood of services and bring us the a […]
In 2010, it’s anticipated that $47B will be spent on pets in the U.S. alone. For marketers, pet care is what many call a recession-resistant industry. It’s ripe with opportunities in retail, services and healthcare. To animal lovers, however, pet care remains a highly personal and emotional experience. Despite this, the pet marketplace is still extremely [.. […]
Not sure how many miles cause we had an equipment malfunction with EveryTrail, but it was a two-hour ride. Let me tell you where I went. Rode cross-town on 10th St to 4th Ave, across 14th St, continued on Park Ave, to 65th St, where I turned west. Rode across the park on the car road, not my plan, but it worked out. Then I stopped to take in the view on […]

Here’s how I sell social media to companies: “I want to help you get more leads, and/or more sales.” When they say, “How much will it cost?” I say, “less than what you’re paying for mainstream advertising.” When they say, “Which technologies will you use?” I say, “Who cares? Let’s figure out how to help [...] […]
