Some while ago I discovered an interesting app for the iPad called tactilize - that allowed one to produce interactive content for the iPad in individual 'cards' - but the name 'card' belied its depth. I chose the word 'depth' as it describes how this innovative program worked. You had only one page, yes... but you could embed content under the surface of the single 'card' - videos, sound, photographs, drawings, text.. and put text as a kind of main page as well as all these other elements. They were hoping to improve the software to allow for multiple cards. It was a truly innovative means to publish multimedia directly to the iPad.
I am a poet and wrote a number of multimedia poems - mostly different fonts and colours combined with photos - and yesterday was going to do my first with a video.... when I tried to publish, I got an error message from the company that hosted it in the cloud. I found Tactilize.com's Facebook page.. and posted a query there.... and received the answer a little while ago.. the company is dead.
Requiescat in pacem.... for a truly interesting way to publish directly to the iPad....

An update - the site is back up, but only to offer it for sale..... so no new cards unless someone is brave enough and has the moolah to take it on
