Zemanta

Zemanta is a handy blogging tool that really helps you create links, find images and link to related articles in a fast and user-friendly way.  Simply install the plugin on your browser, and it interfaces in your blog.  It added itself to my Windows Live Writer with no trouble and to Drupal as well.

Zemanta watches what you are typing in your blog post and offers a menu on the side that has links and images.  You don’t link blind, you can also click to see what the link contains, what article it is linking to too.  It is very slick but still allows you to really know what you are connecting your content to. 

Beautifully simple and exceedingly inviting and easy to use, you really have to try this out if you blog.  I don’t have many blogging tools that I use, but this is one that I really recommend.  I will link to a couple of articles on Zemanta below so you can see how that looks.  It’s entirely built by the service as is the image above along with its attribution statement.  See, you know you want this!
