Anthony,

great post. thanks for taking the time to talk about our investment in Zemanta.

however, i think adaptive blue is not in the same space as Zemanta. Adaptive Blue can be used to add links to posts for sure, but the way I think about the two companies is very complimentary instead of competitive because Adaptive Blue is really aimed at the content consumer and Zemanta is aimed at the content creator.

in fact, Alex Iskold, founder and CEO of Adaptive Blue was the first person to introduce me to the Zemanta team. there is a lot of mutual respect between the two companies.
