Using Insights
Insights increases the speed you access and present information on your site. It makes any information almost instantaneously available.
Let's say I want to link snazzy archives to my exact plugin page.
If I am not sure of the exact link to that page I would need around 1 minute to open a new window, search for this page, copy the link and paste it. With Insights everything is done in couple of seconds.
Adding images
What if I wrote a post about mountains and wanted to insert a generic picture of a mountain:
With Insights it takes few seconds:
What about a Video?
Easy as it can be. Find a relevant video and click Add Video!
Google Maps
With Insights you can add real maps to your posts using Google Maps interface. You can add markers and draw paths too.
When you are satisfied, Insights will add a map image to your post.
Wikipedia and Google
Insights also allows you to search Wikipedia and Google. Insert the links or read the articles with ease:

Good plugin, i will try now
Thanks
Hi. I'm trying the the Insights plugin at the recommendation of johnoverall.com and find it has a lot of potential use for the site I'm building. However, can I include Insights in custom post types? Thanks.
Great plugin Vladimir! Am using it excessively :p.
Question: when adding an image, can I just use it without any problems? In terms of creative commons etc. ? Maybe a typical newbie question, but the last thing I want is copyright issue.
Could you please tell me?
When using the Insights plugin something weird is happening...only in IE.
I highlight the text I want to make into a link.
Copy the text.
Add the text to the Insights area and do a search.
Then click on the 'inset link to selection' icon but instead of making it a link, it deletes the text I have highlighted and replaces it with the words 'object selection'.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Hello Vladimir!
I get the following error "Can not retrieve results" after the search animation finishes spinning. Any ideas what could be the problem?
Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.prelovac.com/deploy.csv) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home/sempaja/public_html/mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-quick-deploy/wp-quick-deploy.class.php on line 437
got that error, any suggestion?
It's just a warning when it can not access the Rising stars list on my site. Nothing to worry about.

How can I pull Google News results?
Nevermind... I am an idiot! I got it after I installed it.. I guess it is important to actually try the plugin before posting..
Awesome plugin! I love it... I was looking for Curation Software and this integrates right in...
Absolutely awesome!
