Snap

I’m messing around with the updated Snap Shots code. It enhances the links you see on this page with visual previews of the other sites, interactive excerpts of things like:

• Wikipedia articles
• IMDb titles
• Amazon products like the book I am currently reading
• inline videos
• RSS feeds from a site
• MP3s like this La Primavera track
• photos
• stock charts

…you get the idea…

They say the “Snap Shots” can bring you the information you need, without having to leave a site, while other times it lets you “look ahead,” before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, snap says it is as simple as clicking the Options icon in the upper right corner of a Snap Shot and opting-out.
