Snap Preview Launches
Posted on Tuesday, November 14th, 2006 at 7:03 am under Web.Tags: snap
At last, the much anticipated Snap Preview has been released. The web 2.0 search engine snap.com is providing a way to automatically show an image preview of the site when rolling over the referring link. This is a free service provided to site owners and bloggers.
All that is required is a snippet of code anywhere on the page and Snap will sniff out any links and add the rollover preview automatically. Even better, you can tell it to do no previews for internal links, all links from a specific domain or even do previews only for sites you select.
So go give it a test drive: snap.com

I’m giving it a try…I think it’s funny that the links on snap.com don’t pop up with the little preview windows.

See it in action at Dexly.com. We were selected to beta test Snap Preview Anywhere technology. It is a GREAT tool.

Melvin, does Snap work on wordpress. I have searched the web and the FAQ, but I can’t find the answer or I don’t know how to make it work.

Melvin,
No Snap does not work on Wordpress.com. However, you should drop a word for snap on the feedback tab if you are using wordpress.com. They will add it if enough people suggest it.

Hello,
We have links on our Snap Preview Anywhere code download page to both a Wordpress.com Plugin and a Typepad Widget! Just sign up for the snippet and you will get access to the links to install both…
