No worries.

Sometimes you need to take some time off a particular personal project to re-realise the value and reason you started it in the first place. Then return ready to go.

Cheers, will let you know how it goes.

Appreciate it Ed. Feedback is like kicking the tires of the project. Learning some new web programming languages is cool, but without some pressing need it just keeps getting pushed back to slower iterations cycles.

Good luck with the site redesign. If you'd like some friendly feedback you know who to ping.

Interesting, thanks for that Mark. I get a reasonable amount of traffic from Zemanta links so had always been curious as to the functionality.

Your IAMM work sounds interesting, its hard sometimes to summon the motivation to work on these personal projects when putting so much energy into some many things at the same time.

I too have several projects on back burners or in a semi developed state, including a rebuild of site/blog which is well overdue.

I'll drop back and have a proper play on IAMM at sometime.

Thanks again.

Zemanta searches for similar extracted meta data (tags & confidence). Then I manually go through interesting titles and read each post to ensure relevancy. I enjoy it when I link to counter examples opposing views to the one I offer. Makes for good thought fodder. In this case I really appreciated your view of motivation/inspiration which I share a healthy interest in.

I had some momentum a couple of months back and need to keep pushing a web site/service connecting the zemanta API to social media. You can see the infant version here: http://www.victusmedia.com . I need to develop a user profile with significant tags, combinations, confidence and frequency to really tie together search with what people chat about.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that, appreciated.

I took a wander over to your site, out of interest do you manage your own Zemanta links after a suggestion process?

Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

Wonderful analogy to your motivation for blogging, and I look forward to folks following a link from my blog to yours in the links section of today's topic: "If you could answer one question, what would it be?"
