Zemanta returns better and smarter images using Daylife APIs

Zemanta is a tool that makes blogging fun again! by helping bloggers find related articles, images, tags and in-text links to their blog posts as they are writing them on their individual blogging platforms. You simply install the Zemanta Firefox or IE plugin or a Wordpress or MovableType plugin and you are all set to start using the Zemanta pool of suggested articles and images to make your blog posts more relevant and interesting. And integration can't get any slicker.
 

 
The Zemanta plugin calls the Daylife Search APIs to find Getty Images related to the text of the blog posts that a blogger is writing. The images from Daylife provide a great pool of relevant content for the blog posts.
Just imagine what is possible if you use the editor that actually understands what you are writing about and helps you make your post, article or page better with suggestions that you can instantly use.
 

Unbiased News and Good Recruiting

Snaptalent has used Daylife’s API platform to build a more complete job ad for a new type of online recruiting. The unique format of Snaptalent’s job ads stems from our effort to provide each candidate as much information about the company as possible. Rather than the traditional job-board format, our ad widgets allow companies to include videos, a photo gallery, text descriptions, and now with the help of DayPI, quotes and news stories about our advertisers from all over the Internet.

Like any good tool, the DayPI does precisely what it is supposed to do and then gets out of the way. We began integration by writing a small module to fetch data from Daylife. This we coupled with a small Django template to format the information in a pleasing and useful way. We soon discovered that some of the companies advertising with us were so young as to not yet have any press coverage; not a problem at all, as we simply consult the DayPI periodically on behalf of these companies and add new stories and quotes as they appear.

DayLife’s technology is an essential part of what makes our ads unique and successful. Unbiased news and quotes aggregated from the web gives candidates a well-rounded and truthful look at the company in question. DayPI allows Snaptalent to build a revolutionary recruitment format that brings the best talent to the best companies.
