Alright. Via my google feed-reader I discovered this new service called Zemanta. I must say, it is kick-ass! It's actually an odd plugin.

How to use RSS Feeds to break up Writers Topic...
I've written a lot lately about rss feeds, however this topic is more about getting over writer's block, & speed blogging.
It's a fact that more content = more search engine rankings / directory listings, and more visitors. Of course quality matters too -- but I'm going to show you a
