Snap Preview Anywhere (TM)




“Snap Preview Anywhere is a tool for site owners to provide a sticky and informative experience for your users. And it's free!”

That’s how Snap starts with the description of its new product or rather web base tool “Snap Preview Anywhere”. (I have used SPA in this blog. The snapshots you'll see on the links are SPA preview)

A simple to implement tool, SPA(Snap Preview Anywhere), is a great addition to the Snap search Engine. It gives an insight or preview to the links on the Snap search results so that you can verify if it is actually what you are searching for or is just a spoof site. To further their innovation they have now provided a free service where you can use the service to let a user in your site view any pages linked from your site.

This free service provided by the Snap I would presume is to act Google. The simple funda of this free service is you tell Snap that you are here in the internet and take my snap rather than Snap doing that on runtime when your link is shown on their search result for the first time. But, they are providing a cool tool so it’s great.

Someone said “Great things should always be free” and that’s what is happening these days, especially after Google. (I am a Google fan..:)).

And the best is the implementation part, you just have to add some javascript within a page’s head tag and the rest of the hardwork is done by Snap itself. Simple isn’t it, well, then try it yourself.

I am an avid reader of Techcrunch.com and I read about this tool in Techcrunch.Com. Link to the artcile posted on Snap Preview Anywhere.
