Zemanta - Enhances your writeup with suggested images, links, videos...


Guys guys, this is my second post of today, i just can not stop myself sharing this with you. Its very nice tool. This tool does is to try to help you making your work looks more creative.

while you write your blog post in Blogger, Zemanta opens up a sidebar next to the Blogger post editor. After you've written a few sentences, Zemanta analyzes the words in your post and suggests images and video that are relevant to your post; with one click, it inserts them into your post.


Check out the screenshot, click on it view in full size. I have written "Firefox is a nice browser", the text i have pointed with green arrow. and it has suggested me links, tags,images in the sidebar etc...

Yeah may be the main image it has given has nothing to do with firefox, but i said, ' It analyzes the text" so..we will understand, it can happen :).

MyZilla - Bugzilla desktop client...


We all know what bugzilla is, But still i am mentioning for them who heard it first time.

In software development, we keep track of problems in some kind of database system. We call them 'Bugs', not those creatures :). There are some cool software systems provided for bug tracking. Bugzilla is one nice bug tracking web based tool, which can keep track of all our bugs and having many cool features.

Rather then writing myself lets see what they say about it,
Bugzilla is a "Defect Tracking System" or "Bug-Tracking System". Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors charge enormous licensing fees. Despite being "free", Bugzilla has many features its expensive counterparts lack.
MyZilla is a free desktop client for Bugzilla bug tracking system. By providing the means of working with a desktop application, it increases the productivity of all project members.
