Enraptured

Apture might just be the new killer blog app. It's a small plugin that allows you to easily integrate multimedia into your blog posts. I'll start with a simple link to the Apture website. I can easily throw in a video demo right off their site including some related media:




Interested in visiting their office in person? Boom:



Basically Apture lets you search the web within the app itself for any kind of media - video, sound, images, websites, files - and create a link or embed the actual media right in the post. It can be pretty cumbersome to do Google searches and collect, say, an album cover image, a link to a band's page, a sound clip, and maybe a photo from a concert for a music review - Apture lets me accomplish all that within one app without leaving my blog post in an easy, streamless app.

Here's a little Dispatch for your listening pleasure, just because it's been in my head for the last couple weeks.

Locating and integrating all the above diverse media into this post took me far less time than it would have without using Apture.

Really excited about this.
