This is one of those products which makes me so sad. It actually could be a really useful product.
As soon as I saw it, I realized why college is so depressing when it comes to research. it’s because no matter what you do, the stuff out there, sucks.

Zemanta Part 2- It ain’t (exclusively) your fault- it’s emails.
Image by Tom Raftery via Flickr
While others have already established that Zemanta is the essential blogging tool for adding yourself to the blog link cloud of awesomeness, Zemanta for email is leaving me ehhhh and lost for the perfect use.
