A long, long time ago... I knew a couple of people. Some of them decided to move to London and be cool (note: I moved to Budapest because I'm cheap! ;D). Well, they managed to create one of the coolest blogging tools around - Zemanta. To steal from them a bit - "We evolved from an enterprise, tailor-made product to generalized web service, from a two-men band to a 15 people venture-funded company, from Slovenia to the World. It’s not anything near final success yet, but it’s a nice start."
TechCruch had a nice review - "Start writing a blog post and Zemanta looks at it and then starts to add the most likely links to the text, which you can then edit (something a lot of bloggers would kill for no doubt). It also builds links to related stories. This kind of application exists a lot in academic and enterprise content management systems but hasn’t appeared on the Web very much to date as these tend to be very CPU/resource intense technologies.". Read the whole thing here.
You know what the best part is? It scans the web for Creative Commons content, so bloggers can post images without the fear of being sued by an angry photographer/artist (provided you link back that is - but it does it for you as well, so you'd need to manually delete the link).
The applications works on Wordpress, Blogger, Typepad, LiveJournal and MovableType (for now), and you can get it here.
