   I hate those things because when i read a webpage i tend to follow along with my mouse and when i hit one of those it pops up the window over the text i was reading. The other part i dont like is i have to exit the window I would rather it disappear when i moved the mouse pointer either out of the box or off the icon, this would help me keep my place when reading the text.

   Good comments. Don’t have to use Apture. Let’s see what others have to say though.

   What I like about it over other mouseover techniques is that you can’t accidentally activate it; you have to consciously hover over the little picture for a short amount of time. Another feature I like is the “Table of Contents” in the upper left of the Apture window. It allows you to dig even dipper into the subject matter without leaving the page. Really cool Hank!

   This is a cool plugin. It seems very user friendly and effective for the creator and the user.

   The Apture pops out too unexpected, which is not that convenient, but I like the idea of Apture that provide much more information beyond the content.

   I like the apture. they answer questions that i may have on a topic. plus i always read them as they sometimes just contain interesting facts and figures. im on board.

   I actually really liked it. It makes it easier for me to understand a topic because I won’t have to google it separately. I especially liked the youtube video, it was quick to come up and didn’t make a separate tab.

   It depends on the individual, but it does annoy me sometimes. Others might absolutely love it though.

   Yeah i like how there’s a delay before it actually pops up. I hate it when websites have ads embedded in the text and they pop up right when you move your mouse over them.

   Love the Turbo btw.

    i really liked it. it is very user friendly. Especially the option of having your video from where ever you want is interesting. It even helps your search become simpler and also effective. Its good.

    That is annoying…especially when you accidentally click on it and you have to dodge the pop ups

    I like how the pop ups don’t come up until u hover over it long enough I have seen similar ones but they popped up unexpectedly and were annoying this was much better…..u have everything at your finger tips -brilliant= Matt Mellenwig.

    Apture looks like a convinient tool, for some people. I will be able to find, select the good information i need. However, doesn’t it provide too much information and isn’t it a little random? I am not sure how these various information can be what I am searching for. But seems to have very good efficacy in linking, flexibility,searching videos.
