Kiwis - Now even better with Apture
We've put out some exciting updates to Kiwis, the URL shortener with a sweet twist that was one of the apps to come out of the One Day App event on July 25, 2009.
Kiwis now fully supports Apture to enhance your shortened URLs with interactive videos, images,
Wikipedia, maps and more from 50+ sources without making readers leave
the page. You should check out the examples at the bottom of this post and see one in action here.
It's super easy to use. Just check the "enable Apture" option when creating your shortened link. After that, any time you view your shortened link, press the "e" key to bring up the Apture Dashboard (also press the pause button to give yourself more time to edit). Highlight words or click between paragraphs to enhance your page with content from all over the web.
We hope you enjoy using Kiwis + Apture as much as we do! Have a good idea for a shortened URL with Apture content? Send us your shortened URLs and we'll feature the best ones here and on twitter.
