Social Media Marketing Links With Zemanta

Even the screen shot is suggested, and I just click it an added it to the post. Sweet, huh?
The only downside is it needs about 300 characters to get more suggestions, and repeatedly hitting the “get more suggestions” doesn’t show more. I’m sure playing with some settings will help.
Now, here are some of the articles they “suggested.” I previewed them all and think they’re great.
