Bloggers! Let hakia.com Help You with Your Facts
What differentiates a blog from a traditional newspaper article is not only the interactivity it provides by comments and trackbacks but also its hyperlinks. Hyperlinks allow the author to give more insight and references to sources, lending credibility and transparency to a blog entry.
Wikipedia, for instance, is a great resource about some of the complex terms that you may use in your blog entries. By linking to Wikipedia, you no more worry about bringing your readers up to speed by cluttering your articles with long encyclopedic descriptions. Wikipedia works for you; it is just one click away from those who need it.
We invite you to use hakia.com as a resource in addition to Wikipedia and your other favorites. hakia.com’s semantic capabilities will point you to the relevant answers for the complex questions you pose for discussion. Yes, you can use hakia.com as a tool to help you point to facts for your long tail questions. The table below shows how hakia links can be used to quote sources. For example:
Gonorrhea, as the main cause of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), may result in female infertility.
| Word(s): | Gonorrhea | main cause | Pelvic Inflammatory Disease |
| Link Source: | hakia Gallery | hakia | Wikipedia |
| Use: | To inform | To support the claim | To inform |
Let’s apply the same idea to a real world example. The sentence below is taken from an article of Fred Wilson’s blog: http://avc.blogs.com
The years from 1999 to 2003 are the “ugly years” in my book. The venture industry raised unprecedented amounts in 1999 and 2000 and proceeded to mess up the business.
What do you say? Give it a try! And… Stay tuned for more. We will show you more ways on how to enhance your blog’s interactivity.
