You ever see some terms on an article you wanted to search for more info on? For instance, let's say you don't know what the semantic web is, wouldn't it be cool to point at that term and have more info just pop up? That's what Apture does. But today Apture and Scribd are applying that technology to a whole range of new documents. Watch Tristan Harris, founder of Apture, talk about it and show off the new stuff.

  • Please have an option to disable it. I dont need handholding or spoonfeeding - I can google myself.

    This is absolutely the single worst thing NYT has done- when I right click to research something (Right Click > Search Google) , it hijacks it and assume to know what about that selection i am interested in. Eg: If I highlight Vegas, what will you show me? what is Vegas? Flight to Vegas?. I am more comfortable researching ON MY OWN in google, where I can do my own term additions (Vegas Weather)

  • I like Embedly and Apture principle. But what would happen if thess companies disapeard? Just in case.

  • Great technology BUT it got scary at the end. It now seems that everyone wants to track you and do things for you. It's the absolute end to online privacy.

  • Honored to be featured as an example in this video - I just installed Apture on my InfiniteRegress.tv blog!
