David, I love it! Even better if it recgonised relevant data files – this is a great route not just towards connecting up the blog posts but connecting up the published literature as well – autocomplete as part of the paper template?

Many thanks for the offer and the insights into Zemanta Jure. I’ll see if any of my more technically minded readers can see the way forward with this concept and whether they think it valid or indeed worthwhile.

Very interesting idea. For current direction of Zemanta this might be a bit too specialized, but we’d be interested in helping. We already have publicly accessible API, that returns a lot of meta-data for given text (like ISBN numbers and freebase references), and upcoming versions will allow to customize a lot of recommendation sources. This should allow you to start building pieces to create this tool around and we can try to help you if you get stuck (and a lot of Zemanta is open-source anyway).

If you want to develop this further, visit our developer forums – developer.zemanta.com or just drop me a mail – jure@zemanta.com .
