Snap Preveiw

Snap Preview

Several days ago, I came across a site (I don’t recall where) and noticed the new service by Snap. It’s a link preview box that opens when you hover over an active external link from a website.

I liked this feature. I think it adds something that benefits the viewer of your site.

I was amazed at how simple this feature is to add to your site.

To get this working on your site, all you have to do is visit the Snap website, enter your url and a valid email address then you are given a code to place before your /head tag.

I have since added this feature to several of my sites, including this one.

    Yeah, they’ve distilled this down about as simple as it gets. Almost takes the fun out of it. No code to do. Websnapr did about the same thing without the intrusive logo but it is way too slow for production use. Shame, it was simple to implement but very modder friendly.

    Goblin, have you implemented Snap on any of your sites?

    Not yet. You know the story, twelve projects, none finished. It’s on the list but I try to avoid Web 2.0 tidbits for the sake of flash. Rounded corners are one thing but this has a place and time. Your use in your blog is very effective as you refer to other sites often.
