One of the things I’ve found time-consuming about blogging is finding appropriate images to go along with posts (which is why so many of these posts are image-less…which is faster, but boring!)

I’ve just discovered a free Firefox plugin that claims to take the work out of this semi-arduous task.

Zemanta does this by analyzing your post’s content. It also claims to automatically create inline links and suggest tags.

It also pulls posts from around the Web, so I can see what other people have said about the same topics.

It’s free. It appears to be smart (I haven’t gotten too many garbage links yet).

The only drawback I’ve noticed so far: Though Zemanta claims to respect copyright, it pulled a wire photo while I was trying their interactive demo.

But I’m definitely keeping this one around and taking it for a longer spin.
