Snap.com has made the Snap Preview Anywhere, a Web site service that delivers site previews, available to all members of the Xanga.com weblog community. Snap Preview Anywhere allows visitors to a Xanga weblog to have access to previews of linked sites.
“Our users have really embraced Snap Previews,” said Bob Hiler, VP of Advertising at Xanga.com. “The response has been tremendous – less than 0.1% of our millions of users have opted-out of having Snap Previews on their Xanga sites.”
The preview feature allows site owners, bloggers and Web publishers to use Snap.com’s visual search technology and library of webpage images for use on their own sites. By moving over any link on a site, users can see a floating window with a visual preview of the webpage. Users can then decide if they wish to visit a site before clicking on the link.
“We’re thrilled that Xanga has chosen to provide their users with the visual benefits of Snap Preview Anywhere,” said Tom McGovern, CEO of Perfect Market. “We hear from many users daily who have become completely dependent on being able to roll over links to see site previews, adding another dimension to the web browsing experience.”
Recently, Snap.com has added improvements to its preview service that are a result of the feedback the company has received from its community of users. The improvements include tools that indicate if a link is Snap Preview Anywhere enabled, the ability of site owners to customize a preview bubble and options that allow users to opt in to the preview service.
Snap has also launched the Snap Preview Anywhere Extreme makeover Contest where users can submit ideas on how to improve the preview service and have the chance to win up to $2,500.
