Re: Seesmic out, Apture in

Thanks for the great post about Apture. I just wanted to clarify what you said in one of your paragraphs describing how Apture works:

"It looks at the page and determines whether there are words that relate to content out on the web. This might be reference text, video or images. It then places a small ‘w’ icon next to the word or selected text and when you hover over it, allows you to see what additional content I’ve added from these media."

To clarify that, the blogger or publisher selects the word it wants to link, then does a search for related media, and finally links in content that he finds relevant. So instead of auto generated Wikipedia links, the viewer will see hand selected content which could include Flickr images, a google map, music from imeem, and lots more. The viewer will see an icon in front of the link that shows the type of media that will pop up; a 'w' for Wikipedia, a camera for images, a speaker for audio, and so on.

Again, thanks for the great post! Do you have any questions about how to use Apture? Shoot me an email at theresa@apture.com

Cheers,

Re: Matt’s Cuppa Quick Review: Apture

Matt,

Thanks for reviewing Apture! I'm glad you like it. One of the biggest features, though, is the ability to add multiple links of related media to one keyword. So if you linked to frogs, you could associate the Wikipedia article, you tube video, and even a slide show about Kermit all in one link.

Derrick,

I completely agree that its difficult to define a market opportunity for a truly revolutionary technology. Its just as difficult to build a great "elevator pitch" for Apture. Thanks for commenting about us on Twitter, though. All of the feedback we got at the Start conference was really helpful. Feel free to email me back at theresa@apture.com

Cheers,
Theresa

Re: Apture Rapture: Take Your Blog or Website to A Higer Level

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the fantastic post. We've really wanted to highlight that users can now embed media between paragraphs and link to a specific time offset on video.

In response to Vlad, Apture searches images from Flickr, Yahoo Image Search, and Wikipedia.

Thanks!

Theresa from The Apture Team

Re: WordCamp SF 2008 Recap

Hey There from WordCamp 2008!

Your readers can open the link in a new window/tab using Apture. When you link to a web page, a preview of the page will open in an Apture window. If they want to read the rest, they can click on the title at the top of the Apture window and open the webpage in a new tab/window.

Hope this helps!
