Автор, а у вас никто статьи не тырит с сайта? А то у меня достали уже – копируют и копируют. И самое главное, что ссылку на мой сайт никто не удосужится поставить.

It’s hard to understand how wordpress could take such a firm stand against text links and do an about face like that.

Dude, great headsup. I am currently working with them on my s513 blog. Very cool plug-ins.

Thanks a lot

Let me clarify two things:
1.) Yahoo did not pay Wordpress anything for this plugin.
2.) We were a client of Alex King and the Crowd Favorite team — they did an awesome job — and in Alex’s blog post about the plugin he openly states that Yahoo! was a client of CrowdFavorite.

Now about the plugin — many thanks for all of your feedback. We are still in Beta so were still working out some of the issues, but its worth noting a few things:
a.) Providing bloggers control on which Shortcuts they want or don’t want was a key design principle. Its your blog and your content and so if you want a Map or Flickr image, but don’t want a Product review then you can remove that. Furthermore, you can remove all of the Shortcuts with one click if none of the recommended Shortcuts make sense for a specific post.
b.) Monetization: there are lots of advertising based solutions out there for bloggers and publishers. If you want a primarily advertising based solution then this is not the product for you. Hopefully we can make the process of finding and integrating relevant content (like Flickr images, maps, etc.) into your blog easier and less time consuming.
Thanks,
