DISQUS

Zemanta Official Blog: August release: Crunchbase integration, LiveWriter support and improved performance

  • thomas clancy · 1 year ago
    while i am very fond of this app., i am particularly frustrated by the inability of it to insert more than one referenced image to blog entries. when you select another image it replaces the one previously set. has this been fixed or is there any plan to add it?

    Thomas, we're working on it :) Please give us another month, we have something really cool in development.

    After installing the Windows Live plugin, I get a script error when I open Windows Live.

    It references line 2551 and the error is:

    'null' is not null or not an object

    FWIW I'm on Vista and using the latest build of Live Writer.

    Hi,

    i like the progress of Zemanta even though I'm not a real user (writing in slovene and all).

    But CrunchBase integration!? You're either
    a) consciously trying hard to cater to the web 2.0 early adopter crowd
    b) out of touch with reality thinking that writing about new startups is an important part of the general blogosphere

    I hope it's the first :). But still you might find more productive uses of your time integrating more general sources (e.g. movie & book databases)

    @steven

    We have now fixed this issue, you should just restart Live Writer and everything should work.

    Can you please confirm if it works for you?

    bye

    Hi! Are you planning to release Zemanta in spanish?
  • dare · 1 year ago
    I wrote a comment here and it was awaiting approval, but now it's gone?
    I don't think deleted it (at least i can't imagine why you'd want to do that)... But the same thing happened yesterday on one of your guys' blog (friedcell). Any idea what's going on?

    @Andraz

    No error now. Thanks for the quick response.

    From my perspective, Live Writer support was an absolute must and at this point looks good. Will be giving it a serious workout over the next few days.

    Is a comment the best way to report or is there a more appropriate route?

    It would also be good if we could select our own keywords for zemanta to find pictures etc for rather than haphazardly picking words from a post.

    The image development sounds interesting - I really like the Zemanta tool - keep up the good work!
  • John Pash · 1 year ago
    This is quite possible THE most useful plugin I've come across. I recommend it to everyone.

    ZEMANTA is better and better - GREAT, guys!
    Yep, spanish and slovene ZEmanta should be first 'language' upgrade, than portugues ....

    When I write my blog in slovene language, I het unrelevant suggestions for photos and also keywords are sometimes unrelevant.
    I suggest, that Zemanta should offer us photos only, when we write in english 8and than other 'zemanta languages'.

    ups! sorry for mistakes - I didn't use glasses - lol.

    @dare: hmm can't see any non-approved comments. Maybe it got classified as spam?

    @steven: You can choose: feedback@zemanta.com, http://getsatisfaction.com/zemanta or just posting a blog post on your blog, we'll notice it :)

    @ismabera: Thanks, we are trying hard!

    @pancho, @ismabera: Other languages are currently not on the roadmap for immediate future. Naturally if strong business case for Spanish comes up, we will be happy to consider it.

    @sire: Well, that would take away part of the magic :). But we are thinking about how to improve the experience all the time and we are working non-stop to provide better and better suggestions.

    @John: Thanks, spread the word :)

    I really like this tool but, like Sire, I would like to be able to choose my own keywords for image and article searching since I often find none of the images or articles suggested have no relation to the main point of the article. I tend to use Scribefire to create blog enteries from other web pages so that might be affecting the results but it would be nice to chose which keywords I want to be used.
  • Pancho · 1 year ago
    Thanks for yor response. I'll keep waiting. It'll be a very welcome feature.

    @dare: your comment on my blog was "just testing" or something similar so when i saw it in the moderation queue i deleted it manually. no reason to have testing comments on a blog, right? :)
