I might name my first born Zemanta. Here’s why:

Every blogger likes to think she’s got something to say that a reader will find interesting and relevant.

Maybe he’ll comment on it, email it to a friend or twitter about it. Maybe others will follow suit. It’s the whole point, really. Nearly all of us are striving for relevance on the web. Same goes for life, actually, but that’s a for another blog post.

It’s this relevance realm is where Zemanta really shines. Zemanta is a free FireFox browser extension that sets up shop right in your blog editor thing. As you type your blog post, Zemanta pulls related links, photos and other web content that match up with your draft. It does all the research for you – making your posts well-rounded and saving you time.

See! That FireFox link came from Zemanta, I didn’t have to go to the site and pull the link. Same goes for that stock image of the Zemanta logo up there. And the Zemanta link in the first graph.

Don’t worry – you don’t have to use any of Zemanta’s findings if you don’t want to. It’s all just there for the taking if you need it. It event pulls in suggested tags for you.

But here is the best part: if you are using Zemanta it adds your content to the list of on-topic articles it offers up to other Zemanta users; see below.

I’m thrilled because I’m starting to see visitor traffic coming here to FlackRabbit from blogs that are linking to my content because Zemanta is telling them I’m relevant to what they’re saying. It’s like magic!

Do you Zemanta your blog posts? If not, I’d highly recommend you give this tremendously user-friendly blogging tool a try.
