Apture.com – multimedia experience on your blog

By Rich

Rich multimedia without code or CSS?

I have to hand it to my friend (and Disembodied Voices cohort) Mark Forman once again. He never fails to provide me with tips on good sites that show potential for productivity. His latest reference: Apture.com. From their site:

Apture provides the first rich communication platform allowing publishers and bloggers to easily turn flat pages of text into multimedia experiences.

The service demonstrated

I’ve been very impressed with the demos at their site. And Mark has done an excellent job of showing how this app works on some his latest blog posts.

I’ve requested beta test acceptance; I hope they contact me soon!
UPDATE: Apture has contacted me to join their beta test. They also advised that the video included in this post was out-dated. I’ve updated the post and removed the video so that misinformation doesn’t continue to be shared.

I look forward to sharing more about this service. Look for integration in upcoming posts.

New Media Cincinnati Meetup, January 2008

By Rich

New Media Cincinnati meetup:

When: January 12, 2007 4:30-6:30 PM EST
Where: Panera Bread Company, 405 East Kemper Road, Springdale, OH 45246 (map)

This is an informal meetup for people in the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Dayton areas involved with or who have an interest in new media (podcasting, video podcasting, blogging, Facebook, Twitter, social networking, etc.).

Everyone is welcome to come.

For more information on the store, please visit their local website: http://www.panera-centralohio.com/

The restaurant management has reserved the meeting room for us and politely requests that the group collectively spend at least $25 while we’re there. I don’t think this will be a problem.

The store has free wi-fi, so feel free to bring your recording equipment. There is currently no single topic of discussion planned. However, if you have something that you’d like to share with the group, please contact Daniel Johnson, Jr.

If you have any questions about this event, please contact:
