Comments on: In Defense Of Snap Previews http://www.revenews.com/internet-strategy/in-defense-of-snap-previews/ Discussion of Online Marketing, SEM, Social Media, Mobile and Video, Micro-Content, and Affiliate Marketing Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:50:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: anonymous http://www.revenews.com/internet-strategy/in-defense-of-snap-previews/#comment-7420 anonymous Sun, 29 Apr 2007 06:16:00 +0000 http://revenews.contentrobot.com/?p=1570#comment-7420 The bottom line: some *readers* find it helpful. So they should have access to it as, say, a firefox plugin? Then they'll get it on all the sites they visit and can be happy. Most seem to (like me) find it annoying as hell, so we can do without. Conclusion: good idea, but placed in the wrong hands. The bottom line: some *readers* find it helpful. So they should have access to it as, say, a firefox plugin?

I actually like the concept behind this kind of technology but everytime I accidentally mouse over one I always, ALWAYS feel like I'm being served an AD. However this handy little Firefox Plugin: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1237/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1237/</a> fixes all sorts of stuff like that. On/Off 1click control of onpage JS makes snap turn to links and Google's Image Search work like it's supposed to. Color me not a fan.

The thing I agree with you the most on is what's the big deal about this? It seems to be link bait. And on that note, and in a hope to put this to bed, I will not put my blogs address in my comment.
