The Wizard is testing a FireFox addon that is in Alpha. What is Alpha? It’s the stage before Beta! That means it isn’t even out for testing but is still in development.

The add-on is called Zemanta. Here is what the folks at Zemanta have to say about it:

“All you need to do now in order to test it is go and write a new blog post, just like you are used to. You will notice a new Zemanta sidebar added to your post editing page.

Before you start writing it will already contain the most interesting pictures from Flickr, that you can use as an inspiration. After you start writing, the recommendations will refresh every 300 characters, and should improve as you write more.”

This add-on is supposed to make blogging fun again by giving you, the blogger, suggestions for pictures and links to include in your post that are relevant to what you are writing about. So far there are no suggestions for this post. My Zemanta sidebar is empty.

So – does it work? I have no idea but I’ll keep it around just in case it does. I’ll let you know. If anyone wants to try it, just follow the Zemanta link above. Remember – it’s only for FireFox right now but they promise more to come.

If you do try it and have success, let me know.
