It uses OpenCalais for semantic analysis and Google search for link suggestions. It's still alpha code, but I think it's already useful and fun to use. Check it out in kaalga.com Would love to hear what you think. Thanks, Amit. Hi,

Would love to hear what you think.

Thanks, Amit.

I cannot really specify, what zemanta could do for me in the future. I think I would like to see a semantic application, where I could really tell the difference from the other "google-like" searches. I'm also wondering how could I - and we as bloggers - change/improve our datasets, so that they could be read by zemanta - or any semantic service. thanks for dropping by andraz.

I have been waiting to see how it faired with my writing as I have only written one post with it installed. So I cannot give it a fair review as yet. Thanks for the link as well.

Glad that you reviewed us! The points you make are very valid. There are few things that need to be done, first is text to semantic information mapping (which we do), the second is actually good ideas about what to do with that semantic information. Freebase is creating a great database, but I have yet to see non-trivial uses of it. At Zemanta we might be the first (I don't know for sure) to offer an application that can sparkle the imagination of what it is possible to do with semantics on the large scale. We hope to provide even more semantic output in the future. About the data: when you study most datasets in the image you have attached you find out that most of them rely on one single source providing semantic connections - Wikipedia infoboxes. Wikipedia is actually the greatest enabler of semantic evolution that is coming to the web right now. However we will need other sources too. For example semantically tagged image stores. BTW: I'd be really interested in what you would imagine Zemanta could do for you in the future? bye Andraz, CTO at Zemanta Hi from Zemanta!
