Snap previews.
The nice thing about using Snap search is that it shows a nice, generous visual preview of how the site looks like. Being able to see a site before clicking on it goes some way to defeating spoof sites and splogs. What Snap have now done is to release to the masses their (probably) massive database of website thumbnails with their free Snap Preview Anywhere service. Add a few bits of code to your pages and rolling over your links will show a little preview of the link itself. Despite minor issues like preview popups getting obscured under Flash objects, it’s a neat and nifty eye candy tool for the broadband inclined web publishers.
