Here's a list of the communication, Web 2.0 and social networking sites and tools that I've come to love the most over 2008. The list is by no means exclusive, but these are the ones I've had the most experience with, and wouldn't ever want missing in my online life.

For about a month and a half now, I’ve been using a service called Zemanta to help improve the quality of my blog posts. While I had a lot of complaints about the service back at the beginning, the team of developers responsible have been hard at work improving things, and providing a first rate blogging tool. There’s still research to be done and bug fixes to be run, but my old, somewhat negative comments about Zemanta are no longer valid.

Update: This is not the article you're looking for. While my points were valid when I originally wrote the article, today, Zemanta provides a great service, which works well and continues to expand. If you want my opinion, I'd say use it!

You might have noticed recently, that I’ve been giving Zemanta a try. It’s a pretty interesting service, and when it works, it’s great! Unfortunately, at least for me it doesn’t tend to work.

I’ve been going through some of the older blog posts on the site, as well as some of the other pages here, with a purpose.

I recently heard of, and looked at Zemanta, a blog enhancement service with various features I can use via Live Writer, Drupal, or both. I’m considering making use of it, but before I actually do, I’d love to get opinions from those who do (or have) used it. What do you think of Zemanta?
