I do have two ways to do digital recordings, but then I would have to go and upload them and jump through hoops... not to mention set up a mini-recording studio. Although I guess the poster from Metric's "Live it Out" album would be an appropriate backdrop in a pinch.
Nah, typing here is easier. :)

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, Theresa and the Apture team

@Theresa - thanks. @Loic - it's an adoption issue. It seems my kind of people are not ready for this form of interaction. It's definitely not about the service. re: FF - it depends. Some posts get a lot of FF comments, many don't.
