Google Alerts are incredible thing. I wake up in the morning and check whoever mentions Zemanta and click through their blog. Then I see if I can help them or at least record their feedback into our bug database so that it's going to get acted upon in next version :-)
Regarding charging for Zemanta, we have no plans yet to charge for our free version, but we're looking into providing some "pro" versions for bigger publishers. So no worries here :)
That is very cool, Jure. I admire your forthrightness. It takes guts to actually seek feedback on new product. But, then, you can have some confidence with Zemanta. I'm still discovering cool new things about it, it works seamlessly with WP, and I recently found out you care about what your users think ;)

Hi Jeff,
I work for Network Solutions, I second Jure's excellent choice of Google Alerts. Thanks for mentioning Network Solutions. We monitor brand terms to see if we can reach out to people in every possible channel.
Hi Shashi, Thanks for the comment. I've been really happy with NS and plan on continuing next year. Keep up the good work! I love that you have Wordpress and Joomla, which a Regular Guy (like me) can just install easily from the account manager dashboard. Jeff

that's the important thing about google analytics, we can write what they want from the searching on search engine. after that they can come again and again to search and read about what they search for. like we search network solutions.... you can grab to write about it and sending them to your site. really easy with stats from google analytics.

I been reading your blog today, .. got a good collection of posts, I tried google alert, and sort of tried to incorporate it in my daily routine but I do not why couldn't find it very intersting may be because I was used to other trend and bookmarking tools...

I hope to be adding more posts about this kind of stuff. The article about marketing spending in 2009 has been the most popular... I tried Google alerts also back when I wrote this, and I didn't have too much success, either. If you are someone like Zemanta or Network Solutions, and you want to know what bloggers are saying about your company, it's probably a good thing. I was just curious about how these readers found my blog. How did you find the blog? Curious...
