A comment on the problem "Does Pingvine fail to cope with Google Reader and delicious?" in pingvine:

Thanks. My instinct is to badger you for an expected release date... but! I shall sit tight for now! :) – GameWyrd, on January 26, 2009 08:14

Does Pingvine fail to cope with Google Reader and delicious?
I'm trying to use pingvine to take in an atom feed from Google Reader (a shared label) and feed those discoveries into delicous. Ping.fm sits in the middle. Ping.fm doesn't report any recent activity so I suspect pingvine is not successfully feeding into it.

Any thoughts? Is it because delicious isn't a micro-blog? Or because pingvine/ping doesn't like the atom feed?

Thanks Michael. I hope you're not having to work today.

Blogurl: http://words.inpurespirit.com

I'm using an RSS widget for the comments (hacked to remove the icon). The pressing issue is the week long syncing process. I'm taking part in this thread http://getsatisfaction.com/intensedeb... and have tried deactivating and then re-activating the plugin without luck.

I'm on v2.0.17 and WP 2.7. I've also had this problem. I've deactiviated and re-activated the plug in but that returns me to the "Queued, waiting for Import" screen. I've a dozen comments and its taken a week...

Any thoughts?

Great idea. I think I'll do that... but ID has been 'syncing' my comments for nearly 48 hours now so I'm a little cautious of it.

I'm sure I'd pressed that button before - when i first added the system - but perhaps it reset after the upgrade. 48 hours seems a long time to queue and sync.

The RSS feed, though, seems to be working fine....

A fresh new morning. I bit the bullet and created a new firefox profile - that seemed to do the trick.

The Zemanta icon has returned to the address bar, the widget loads in the sidebar of Wordpress and Blogger - however, the debug page took a few refreshes to update, now looks largely okay except for 'proxy: null (whoops)'.

It still also says 'Zemanta extension enabled' before the debug stats.

I've got it working on Internet Explorer on this machine. I've tested another laptop and everything works fine.

Checking the debug page I can see that it says "Zemanta extension disabled". I've uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted my laptop with Zemanta installed and restarted it with Zemanta not installed.

Looks like its a Firefox issue (and the WP thing was a coincidence and may never have worked; I suspect my host is tight with the access rights and I'd have to set up the 755 rights myself.

However; I'll cry if I have to use Internet Explorer. Are there any options for poking Firefox left?

I didn't have the WP plug in to begin with - I was just on the FF extension which failed first. I added the WP after that to try and finish this post and took the error message from there.

I've deleted the WP plug in but there's no change in teh FF extension status - still borked. I notice that the 'options' button is shaded out. Is that normal?

As an update; I get the same plugin error when I close FF and check in Chrome.

Zemanta just died...
Me again; I've done two posts via the Firefox add-on and WP 2.7 today without any trouble. I came to Zemmify my third post and there was no Zemanta sidebar nor Zemanta icon in my address bar.

To try and workaround this I added the Wordpress plug in. Looking at the configuration there I can see some sort of error.

I've disabled and re-abled the firefox plugin. No luck there.

Improved Recent Comment integration for Wordpress
Is there a wordpress widget that lets me show Recent Comments on ID without the use of JavaScript?

Sadly I have no artistic ability. Right now I'm most likely to add reblog via feedburner than anything else!

Zemanta is recommending sexually explicit images.
On a blog post which listed a collection of body parts (non sexual) the Zemanta image recommendation suggested two sexually explicit images. I've posted a (censored) sceen grab and linked to the wikipedia sourced images.
GameWyrd replied on November 20, 2008 16:13 to the idea "Image failure alerts" in Zemanta:

I think a Zemanta hosted image solution would be interesting or one which made the WP upload easy.

I've not yet hosted anything on my brand new WP blog and have only ever used Zemanta. Now I'm worried that the self-hosted images will look out of place without the Zemanta caption and this solution would seem to solve that too.

Image failure alerts
I make heavy use of WordPress's scheduled post feature. At this point in time at least 80% of my posts are waiting to go live and at least 90% of those have been enhanced by Zemanta (thanks!). I have a concern about the images used; what if they're taken offline in the mean time? It means posts could go live with dead images when I'm not around to check them.

Could Zemanta be used to trigger alerts if an image previously recommended by Zemantra becomes unavailable?
GameWyrd shared an idea in Zemanta on November 17, 2008 11:22:

Custom and shared reblog buttons
What about allowing people to design their own custom reblog button? Take that a step further by then creating a gallery of user created reblog buttons that people can surf through and find one that suits their blog's theme and style?
GameWyrd asked a question in Zemanta on November 16, 2008 10:46:

Reblog feedflare?
Does Zemanta have a reblog feedflare for feedburner? I think it would be a good idea if it doesn't already have so.
