might be good here, in the sense of grabbing and holding attention

there is also the verb 'accrocher' if you want the emphasis on holding rather than grabbing - but thanks for all the nice instant support !

: oui, ou "capter l'attention" comme indiqué dans ton explic. "Interpeller" est correct, ms est svt utilisé avec une idée de brutalité (voir http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/interpeller), // à la réflexion tu as certainement raison - je m'incline ;)

: je n'utiliserais pas "motiver", mais tt à fait d'accord sur le fait qu'"interpeller" est un peu fort, un peu brutal

établir un rapport/une relation (et interagir avec)
Dans le contexte du "web social", je pense que "engage" pour un publicitaire va plus loin qu'interpeller (trop souvent péjoratif, à mon avis).
