Provide Feedback on Snap Preview Anywhere
Written by on February 9th, 2007 in Ajax News.
I added Snap Preview Anywhere (SPA) to eHub back in December (eHub entry here). The free service provides a quick visual preview of a site whenever you roll over an external link. This lets you get a quick glimpse of the sites I’m linking to. In eHub, this also makes it easier to browse the list and associate a name with the visual recognition of the site preview.
Recently, I was asked by Snap to provide some (volunteer) feedback on a few methods they were testing. Rather than having the preview appear as soon as you rolled over a link, the new option added an icon next to the link. Hovering over that icon would activate the Snap preview.
In response to feedback from users, the team over at Snap has developed an enhancement to the Snap Preview Anywhere (SPA) web service, which will add an icon to SPA-enabled links. The idea is to visually denote which links are SPA-enabled and which ones are not, and thereby in effect eliminate the potential “surprise element” and drastically reduce the number of “accidental triggering” instances.
Snap is looking for feedback and input on the implementation. Visit eHub to see it working (position your mouse over the icon that’s next to a link) and tell them what you think in the comments below.
