This may annoy you.
This may thrill you.
You may not give a rodent’s rear.

New users of the tool are encouraged to provide the following information to their readers:

Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com

We have 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.

if this annoys you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Thanks for the text, snap.com!

Here’s a chance to voice your opinion about this semi-invasive technology.

What goes through your mind when you visit a web site that uses preview tools like Snap Shots?
