Hi Chris,
"VentureBeat, for example, has plenty of past coverage to tap into; if I want to mention Zemanta’s launch, I want the link to point to our own article, not an article somewhere else"

Try Kaalga to get link suggestion from your own blog (kaalga.com)

Hi Fred,

I won't claim to have a comprehensive product such as Zemanta, but I think my product (a FireFox extension) is doing a better job in linking. The link suggestions are in context, you get top search results for each suggestion and not just links from selected sites, and you can select any text and use the same linking method (not only the software suggestions - which admittedly are sometimes lame)
You can download it here: http://kaalga.com
It would be great to hear what you think

Hi,

I wrote a FireFox extension that helps bloggers easily add links to their posts. It uses OpenCalais for semantic analysis and Google search for link suggestions.
It's still alpha code, but I think it's already useful and fun to use.
Check it out in kaalga.com
Would love to hear what you think.

Thanks, Amit.

Re: Cuil might just be cool enough to become the Google-killer in search

Well, I think part of the idea is that they *aren't* using the same algorithms.

I honestly can't understand what are they trying to do..
Beat Google using basically the same algorithms, on the premise that their index is bigger??
