Zemanta Tags and Life User

I'm now letting Zemanta choose tags for my past, present and future posts on Life User. I may choose a few manual tags additionally, but I won't turn down any Zemanta suggestion, no matter how irrelevant it seems. This is intended as a form of search-engine optimization, meaning it's meant to increase the chance of (hopefully interested) readers finding and visiting Life User from a search result page.

You may think it black-hat of me to knowingly include, for the purposes of search-engine optimization, tags that are apparently irrelevant to the post. But consider the following:

Anti-Semitic Semantic Search


Nazis cause Jews, Arabs cure them, hookers are best treated with steroids and Adobe Photoshop, and one of the benefits of diabetes is copying documents. Narcissism is treatable by both aggression and Freud, but the latter may cause arthritis and great anguish and destroy your career. Marijuana can "assess psychometric accuracy" and help you "achieve wider social acceptance".

This is just a sampling of the medical advice dished up by HealthBase, a new semantic search engine evidently released into public beta prematurely. As TechCrunch reported last week, HealthBase drew some minor controversy for listing "Jew" as a cause of AIDS. Treatments include "Arab", "gene", alcohol and coarse salt. In an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks, "Pros of Jew" include "endorse extrinsic religiosity" and "facilitate Americanization", while cons include "enemy", "plague" and "kill Christian". On a more paradoxical note, the causes include "Nazi" and "Hitler".
