Zemanta, it is predatory software in that they fake password failures so you have to use their system to write something. No one and no software should use such deceptive practices.
It is a total rip-off of a users time. I HATE when companies like this manipulate the user. Did I mention unethical. WARNING Zemanta is a useless system and I am going to WARN everyone not to use it.
Sincerely,
An Angry Person that tried in good Faith to Use Zemanta and wasted 40 minutes on it, don’t you get sucked in too!!

You are right :) We need to do better job with our logins. We don't have much control over GetSatisfaction, but we'll make sure to fix things on our end where we can.

I'm sorry for your bad experience with Zemanta. To use our recommendations you don't have to login at all and can be completely anonymous user.
We agree that Windows Live Writer is an excellent piece of blogging software and encourage users to try it. If you would like to use Zemanta's recommendation to help you with blogging, we have WLW plugin to help you with that.

Inappropriate?In Jure Chale's, post he states that you don't have to login to use the Zemanta recommendations. Just another muniulative and total lie to a very simple question. Why do you get an error message when you login with a correct user name and password; because IT IS DONE INTENTIONALLY by Zemanta to manipulate you! Why doesn't Zemanta just say, we son't let you login until you waste 20 minutes trying to "Get Satisfaction". When ever you try and login using, the correct user and password it doesn't work. When you try and reset the password, the "System" is always too busy so you can't. The System forces you to "Get Satisfaction" that never HAPPENS. You can't login to do what you want, Zemanta forces you to make a stupid post and go through a series of CRAP that does nothing to help you with your needs, only posting for Zemanta. Just for kicks whenever I see a Zemanta button a hit it and I can never get to what the button says it is for. The only way to login easily without posting (and you are NEVER Guaranteed to get in if you post) is to use a universal login such as Open ID or Windows Live.
So I am here to tell anyone that is experiencing what I have described here, Zemanta is manipulating and 100k other users .. Get Satisfaction is a violation of truth in advertising which I am in the process of reporting. It should be "Can't Get No Satisfaction" because you can't, without wasting your time and being manipulated..
I will continue to post here to warn people, and when that gets completely blocked (I have already been partically blocked and had posts removed by Zemanta Moderators for telling the truth) I have a Blog ready to go with Zemanta can't get satifaction as the domain name where I will continue my campaign against this sham that Zemanta is conducting on the innocent internet users.
Sincerely,
CRAZYBEAR
I’m Frustrated and upset at Zemanta because the company sucks!!!u

Inappropriate?I'm sorry but which login are you talking about? The one that is on the right side of preferences pop-up triggered from our editing widget or the one that this site, Get satisfaction, requires for commenting about anything?
If you mean this one, then we are sorry that we can't do anything since getsatisfaction.com doesn't belong to our company and hence we can not and do not control its registration or login policies.
If you are talking about the one in preferences, then Jure is right. Zemanta doesn't require login there for functioning and the only thing registering does is to allow you to save and use your preferences permanently across browsers.
They are different and require separate registrations.
We certainly neither force or expect you to write anything for us, but you are more than welcome to share your opinion with anyone.
I am sorry that our tool is a source of aggravation instead of joy for you and I wish you best of luck with tools that might better fulfill your needs.
Please let me know if you need help with uninstalling Zemanta widget or plugin.
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Marko, double talk again; I am referring to access Zemanta froom any URL that goes to getsatisfaction.com AND every time I try and login to Zemanta directly. For instance to update Zemanta templates in Live Writer you have to login. I don't care who owns and controls Logins and neither do the other people that try and use Zemanta (i.e. GetSatisfaction). No matter what I have had to login to use any and all the Pages on Zemanta, including this one.
The systems of Get Satisfation can't be separated from Zemanta by the user unless you tell us how do that. Neither you or Jure have done that. So just admit that the Login procedures SUCK and need to be changed.
I’m conerned for the General Public
