June release: support for Drupal, MySpace, Tumblr and Ning
Posted by jure, under releases on July 1st, 2008
Just before the summer heat kicks in we are releasing a refresh of our services, fixing some legacy issues and expanding our reach to four new platforms: Drupal, MySpace, Tumblr and Ning. We also upgraded Reblog and generally improved stability and responsiveness.
New platforms
By popular demand we’ve expanded the platform support with first non-traditional blogging platforms. Bloggers using Drupal, MySpace, Tumblr and Ning can now leverage our service as well. This adds up to 9 major supported platforms.
This is a significant development, since most of us use more than just one of these platforms. Chances are you are using Drupal for work, Ning for a side project and Myspace for private stuff. Zemanta will be available to you whenever you need it with just one install!
Drupal - now you can enhance all of your content. We support all of the content writing screens. We have both Drupal Zemanta plugin and a Browser extension support.
MySpace - you can enhance your MySpace blogs.
Ning - blogs are now supported. Since there is no graphical editor for Ning, it’s a bit more of text as the other platforms.
Tumblr - we support enhancing of Text tumbls.
Reblog
This release features greatly improved reblog service. We’ve simplified it so you can create rich quote-based posts with just a few clicks.
The reblog button also has two new features: firstly it’s a brand new design that should look nice on most of blog themes, and secondly reblog now works correctly also for feed-readers (e.g. Google Reader, Bloglines, etc.).

Question, do we need to download anything new to take advantage of these new features?

Zemanta, was wohl an ’semantisch’ gemahnen soll, ist ein Tool zur anreicherung von Webinalten mit Tags, Fotos (hoffentlich Attrib-Commercial?) und Links zu ähnlichen Inhalten.

Hi! This sounds like an extremely useful tool.
I just installed the Firefox plugin. While it does work on my personal tumblog, it doesn’t work on my group tumblog — which is where I actually post. I’m guessing it just needs to recognize http://www.tumblr.com/group/###/new/text rather than only looking for http://www.tumblr.com/new/text ?
Also, it’d be great if the zemanta service worked for other types of tumblr posts; almost everything on boxofmeat.net is a link, with some additional commentary & links in the description section.
I’ll look forward to the next version….

Adding support for group tumble’s sounds easy enough. We’ll try to have that in for our next release in a few weeks.
Regarding the other types, we work best with at least paragraph of text, so we’re a bit vary of supporting links or images. But we’ll reevaluate it.
