This Amazon Link Thing

I have been sitting on this Amazon.com link thing since it started.

If you troll back through the almost five years of blogs created here you will see many book links.  I only posted them when I thought the book worthy of recommendation.

Lately, I’ve been using Amazon more for groceries and music.  It never occurred to me to post links to that.  But then Amazon.com sent me a link to their discount pages, 15, 25 even 50% off items I have already been ordering from their subscribe page.

http://tr.im/AmGroc contains a link that takes you to their discount grocery sale.  It ends April 29th.

Unfare Zemata Test

Source: WikipediaIt made no sense to me that Zemanta wasn't working on my blogger editor. I went back in for a second look and saw my No Script icon along the status bar had its red circle with slash markings. Once I opened it and set it to allow, wham the Zemanta bar appeared to the right of the editor. SO far, it has photgraphs such as this: L7 encircled. I think it's an album cover.

The articles listed below the editor are all about Zemanta, not surprising. They are from funkykaraoke.blogspot.com, fourstars.com, blogherald.com, readwriteweb.com, techcrunch.com, tadejhq.com. The first listed link is one day old and the last is two days old. Recent stuff.

If I change the subject to something like Leo Laporte, Petaluma, Sonoma, Marin counties California or the Democratic primary coming up in one of the midwestern states and Pennsylvania. If I mention the New York Times or the Guardian.uk.co then all of the choices on the bar suddenly changed.

Ah, I just discovered that when you click on the gallery selection, it changes, not adds a photo. I first had the L7 thumbnail, then a photo of Leo and then a photo of this clocktower in Petaluma.

Zemanta is cute, but, I don't see much use for it the type of blogs we publish.
