This Zemanta thing reminds me of the Alexa toolbar—I think that’s what it was, I’m going back as much as a decade here—that shows you links related to the page you are currently already on. Back in the day people were really excited about the Alexa toolbar for some reason.

Well Zemanta tries to help the author instead of reader. That might sound like a small difference, but it actually is a huge shift - author is a human filter and things that the end reader see are not computer-recommendations, but human selected ones.
