Andy's working on that now - can't give a definite timeframe but it's coming along well.
General content uniqueness (what's being worked on now) is a set of filters to change the content to make it more unique.
Spinning API integration is so you would be able to use a spinning account with Blogzeus so it gets passed through your spinning account before getting posted to your blog. The spinning API downside is that you'll quickly use up your credits with a decent spinner.
Hope this helps,
Sam
I just got an email Andy answered so I'll post it here (with Mike's permission) as it will likely help if you're using BZ...
Re: Choosing the right keywords and sources?
Hey Mike,
Ok, here's what I usually do when setting up a new blog with BZ to get this right...
First I decide how much time I've got. If I'm in a hurry I'll just use
some keywords in 1 content block, and have them all post to a random
category. I find this the best way to get a feel for what content's out
there for my main keywords. I might then go back and tweak the keywords,
or break them into categories, which is what I do if I've got more time
to begin with (see below).
For keywords I use the Google keyword tool (which has been made tougher
for hit and run research, but it's still the best free option).
With the BZ content sources, I tick them all to start with. Then once a
week or so I give the blog a once over and see how the content's going.
If there are any content sources that I identify as unsuitable, I only
untick them at that stage. The more sources you've got ticked the larger
content pool is there to pull from.
However if I've got more time upfront, I'll take my keywords and break
them into categories. If you've got a blog already setup, then I'll be
mapping these keywords to blog categories. If not, I'll use the keyword
research to help define what the categories should be. For general blogs
I just group the themes by eye, and aim to have about 20-ish keywords
in each group. I then put each of these keyword groups into a new BZ
content block, posting to the relevant category.
When I add the trending keywords features for BZ you'll be able to enter
things like #TWITTER_KWS# (and a series of others) into the keywords
box, and that will, at runtime choose a random Twitter trending keyword
to use to pull content. This isn't the sort of thing you want for niche
blogs, but with news blogs (like you mentioned you might setup) it works
really well.
Hope that helps, and let me know if you've got follow up questions.
Cheers,
Andy

We're just finishing a relaunch of another plugin at the moment, but all test sites are 70-80%+ indexed and bringing in traffic(5-10k posts).
We've done some features that we're testing and refining now, PM/email me if you need any tips on getting Google to index it.
Cheers,
Sam
Hey man its been months since we have gotten updates on this. it feels like you ditched this for wp snowball.
blogzeus.com has not been updated since july, there is no support desk and you havent added any features like you said you would.
I have been paying your monthly fee in hopes that blogzeus would become somewhat like wp snowball but I guess you dont have that planned,
please let me know whats up as I have been paying for a couple of months now.

WP Snowball has had a big update recently, yes. (Andy and I are working on 8 products)
Correct, no front end updates since july (multiple back end ones though). I'm forming some new ideas about this actually.
The support desk is there and always has been (I just double checked now in case something exploded, but it works). Just click the help icon in the top right of the app for documentation, feature voting and support tickets.
Originally the plan for BZ was autoposting A-grade content in bulk. But not only is it ridiculously hard to create content like this (all current spinning implementations are a million miles away), but it's not actually how you're using BZ today. In general, people turn it on pretty high, create a firehose of content for a niche set of keywords, then run out of content in a few weeks (there's only so many articles on "fishing gear in NY" etc).
So the feature set and UI need to be more focused on guiding people through creating a blog, helping them pick the right keywords, then getting relevant content. And as the full-auto-content angle is something that would take many, many more months of R&D, I'm leaning towards semi-auto as a way to ensure top grade content.
It was actually going to be completely private all this time, but tons of emails were coming in asking for early access, so it's there for $7/month to get feedback and data, when the final price will be an order of magnitude larger.
So yes, still going - but this is a huge project :)
the domain blogzeus.com is gone? Where I can log in or the project is abandoned?
