There is a new service called ‘Apture’ that allows our site visitors and users to enhance existing articles (only people that have allowed this under their CC license will have this active on their articles).

So what can be added you ask?

So for example you link to a Youtube video, so before Apture the user would have to click and leave Bukisa to go watch the movie, now with an enhanced article all the reader needs to do is hover over the link and they will be able to watch the movie in a nice little pop-up window, you can even choose to embed the video in to the page at a click of a button if you wish.

So, any article boasting this CC license – (which is our default license for new content) will be able to have their article ‘enhanced’ – all that you need to do is click the letter ‘e’ on your keyboard and signup for free with Apture.

You can try it on this article (which I enhanced by adding Wikipedia information for each country mentioned in the article).

By enhancing articles users visiting will remain longer on our site and enjoy exposure to more materials and thus contribute to a better overall performance for our site and content.
