Semantic Results as Found Art

I went through all my old Zemashup alert posts (see Zemashup tag to) I had been doing and cleaned out the crappy code that's left over from Google email alerts by copying everything over into Windows Live Writer and then copying it back.

Leaving Zemanta on the whole time it read each post and brought back recommendations. Being the dork that I am I then went through those results and kind of hacked them into what you see below.I actually had to go in tweak the HTML that Zemanta uses in the post.

I had a college poetry professor who called this Found Art. Most people would probably (rightfully so) call it ‘noise’.

The [Non] Value of Friendfeed | Technosailor.com
Over the past year or so, I've fiddled around on Friendfeed. Sometimes actively, sometimes passively. The notion of aggregating all social content into a single.

It's odd but I totally get when people don't get FriendFeed. It seems kinda simple it first but it's totally not, but it is. Make sense?
