Oh that UI is awesome.
I don't suppose you could run it through all three (Placemaker, Calais,
Zemanta), or give the user a choice of engines?

Only nitpicks:
If I grab something, drag it, and it's on a word boundry, the thing gets
extracted from the leftmost, so the offset is wrong.

IE
One two three (city
name) four five

Grabbing city name uses the left position of "name". Annoying. FF 3.5b4.

Perhaps if you made that so it was display: inline-block or something.
