Enhance your emails and blog posts with Zemanta
Zemanta on Gmail from zemanta on Vimeo.
Zemanta, a very useful utility and a wonderful tool which helps you write emails like news articles with ease. When used with WordPress, it also enhances your blog posts by adding useful links and images to your blog posts automatically. Currently works only with Y!Mail, Gmail and WordPress.
Zemanta finds and adds(only if you wish) interesting images, relevant links and related articles to your emails and/or blog posts very fast.
Here is how it works
- Once installed, a small button is added to the top of your email and also in your WordPress editor.
- Zemanta goes through what you have written and finds you related articles, relevant links and interesting images that can be used in your emails and posts.
Why you should use Zemanta with WordPress?
- For various reasons, most of us add images to blog content. Zemanta finds relevant images from all the available Photo Sharing sites relevant to your blog content. You will avoid searching and uploading images to your site.
- Zemanta automatically suggests the targeted tags you need for search engine optimization. Just click your selections and you’re done.
- Adds other important links based on the content so that your readers have all the important links in one place.
- Attract more readers to your post by linking to similar topics on other sites.
- Copyright issues are taken care by Zemanta.
- I’m sure you normally spend 20-30 min/post approx. to find related links, related stories, images and tags for your posts. Zemanta does the same in 2-3 seconds.
Why you should use Zemanta with Gmail or Yahoo Mail?
- Your emails will have professional look with images and related content.
- Receivers can find other related content easily.
- You can easily add images from your Flickr account or from others. Easy way of sharing photographs along with your email.
- Informative report-style interface with links to other points on Internet for further reading.
- Persuasive professional introductions with easy addition of personal images and links to social networks.

I’ve been using Zemanta for some time now on all my blogs. I love how it works and even more, enjoy the links I’m getting on other websites due to it’s related article feature!
I can’t say enough positive about Zemanta. It’s a great service that is very unobtrusive – use it if you want to but it’s not in your face if you want to use other images or links that it hasn’t pulled in.

I guess if you’re in a rush this could be good. When it “finds relevant links, etc” automatically…does it give you a list and you can choose, or is it just “BAM, here you go!”?
