Author: Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com
I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.
Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you “look ahead,” before deciding if you want to follow a link or not. All you have to do is ‘hover’ over the link with your mouse to see the Snap Shot box with the added info. Try it on the links above.
Or, here’s a sample of what they look like:
Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.
Please let me know in the comments box what you think about this addition. Do you like it? Do you find it annoying? Do you care either way?
