How about integrating with third party blogging apps like ecto, Mars Edit, etc? Last reply on May 09, 2008 22:52.
Collaborate with ecto, Mars Edit, or another blog posting program to include Zemanta would be AWESOME. I would pay for that, as the third party apps are much better interfaces, generally, than the web interface o either Wordpress or Blogger. -

getting more picture suggestions Last reply on May 04, 2008 13:21.
If I don't want to use any of the picture suggestions, it would be nice to be able to indicate that I'd like to discard the current suggestions and get some new ones.

Strange suggestions Last reply on May 03, 2008 10:44.
Could someone explain why Zemanta suggested John Lennon as tags and related stories for this post?

most obvious picture not suggested Last reply on April 07, 2008 01:38.
In this blog post about Xobni - http://www.wizardstower.co.uk/blog/20... - Zemanta never suggested the Xobni logo as a picture to use. I would have thought that as the Xobni logo is in Wikipedia under Xobni, and the post has the word Xobni in it lots that Zemanta would have suggested that picture to me. -

the ability to report bad suggestions Last reply on April 07, 2008 01:33.
It would be nice if there was a way to mark a suggestion as not being appropriate for the blog text. In this way Zemanta could learn from its mistakes.

weird tag suggestions Last reply on April 06, 2008 22:24.
If I paste the following text into blogger, Zemanta suggests the tags "Barack Obama" and "Hillary Clinton". As you can see, the text has nothing to do with politics. Interestingly by the time I'd modified the text to the final version (see http://www.wizardstower.co.uk/blog/20... ) the tag suggestions were more appropriate.
I found this book to be disappointing. You go into it expecting a subversion of the Wizard of Oz as you've seen it in the movie and read in the book, but that's not really what you get.
If you think about it, the Wicked Witch of the West isn't actually in the original story very much. She's a typical one-dimensional bad guy that attacks the heroes and then gets vanquished. There isn't really that much interaction between Dorothy and the Witch to subvert. Dorothy isn't even in 99% of this book - the story is just concerned with getting the Witch from being a sympathetic character to the point where she takes the actions we see in the original.
For most of the book you are getting to know characters and events that really never matter, because you know how it's going to end. It makes no difference what she did as a child. You go into the story knowing the climax, so it doesn't seem to even try to build up to it - things just happen.
A lot of questions are never answered. There are a lot of Why's outstanding and you never really find out what happened to half of the characters. A lot of plot points are introduced and nothing ever happens with them.
The book was also quite difficult to read. The language was quite dense. It had me reaching for the dictionary on occasion, but I usually appreciate that in a book. Somehow it was just annoying here. Having read the preview chapters of the author's other books included at the end of this one, he always seems to write like this. I will not be buying his other books.
I think that was the problem - it was hard work and there was very little reward at the end.
