Since the launch of Snap Preview Anywhere™ (aka SPA) in November of 2006 we have had over 29k+ site owners and bloggers sign up and served more than 65MM+ previews. We are on the path to clearing over 100MM previews by the end of the month!!

We thought that since you all in the blogosphere have given us SO MUCH support and love and installed SPA on your blogs and sites, we would feature some of the more interesting, notable and funky sites that are now using the Snap Preview Anywhere™ product.

Enjoy!

I would like to thank Snap.com not only for coming up with the great product Snap Preview Anywhere™, but also for mentioning Rocketry Planet in its list of 100 Snap Preview sample sites and for including Rocketry Planet in the widely-distributed email announcement showing 10 of the listed sites using Snap Preview. With all of the possible sites from which to select, this was an unexpected honor for Rocketry Planet.

Snap Preview Anywhere has enabled Rocketry Planet users to preview the nearly 700 Web links to hobby rocketry-related Web sites from our database as well as has allowed users to preview Web sites mentioned in the various news articles, press releases, product reviews and other pieces of dynamic content that we publish. Without Snap Preview, users basically were flipping a coin as to whether or not they wanted to follow external links through to their destination. Now, they can make that decision before leaving our site. As a result, we have created via Snap Preview a richer user experience and increased the stickiness of our site at the same time.

Once Snap Preview Anywhere is installed and configured, it virtually runs itself. There has been no need for additional consideration since it was installed — we just key in the content and Snap Preview does its thing. There has been no delay experienced from Snap’s network infrastructure, preview queuing, or availability. Obviously, the Snap.com network is scalable and highly available. Our user feedback has never been so positive.

Thanks once again for a wonderful product.

Cordially,

Ever wonder how to integrate SPA to a 100% AJAX web application?

Then see http://www.linkibol.com/

I've written a blog post about it but since the SPA core has changes my post is now obsolete. I'll update it asap.

For the AJAX guys out there, the post is located here:

Cheers and have a lovely snap preview experience.

 

I really want to thank the Snap team for this great product. This service really adds something to a website! Keep up the good work!

 

Hola Señores de Snap, me alegro mucho de sus avances, yo tengo dos blogs, y he conocido sus servicios gracias a Unión de Bloggers Hispanos UBH, y por demás está decirlo los estoy usando muy satisfecha.
Mi pregunta es la siguiente, claro está que no pretendo estar en esa lista de blogs importantes, pero veo que no hay ninguno de origen hispano, o de habla hispana.
Ese es un problema para mi, ya que me costó bastante implementar el Snap por ese motivo, soy argentina y me cuesta mucho entender el ingles.
Una sugerencia que les daría es que al menos pongan un traductor en su página.
Hasta para leer el mail que me mandaron tuve que traducirlo con Wordlingo.
Si tuvieran esa deferencia de que al menos los mails me los manden en mi idioma (Español)
Y que cuando tenemos problemas para usar sus herramientas también tuviéramos ayuda en español, hay mucha gente en el mundo de habla hispana, y no todos manejan bien el ingles como yo por ejemplo que soy un desastre.
Otra cosa y perdonen ustedes mi insistencia; los sitios de habla hispana no cuentan para ustedes?
Yo se que son miles o millones, pero los hay muy buenos! No encontraron ninguno para poner en su lista o solo leyeron los que están en ingles?
Bueno disculpen si parezco agresiva pero esto del idioma me pone mal.
Un saludo a todos y mis felicitaciones! Tienen un muy buen producto! A mi me gusta mucho.

 

Thank you, SNAP, for singling out Good Wine Under $20 for attention among the many fine blogs that use your preview tool. SNAP helps to generate a lot of outgoing traffic for my site, and makes it more interesting and dynamic for readers.

 

I think SNAP Preview Anywhere is a great tool! I've just blogged about it today having implemented it a short while ago.

I love being able to have the picture association before I click on a link!

Congratulations on getting the contract with WordPress. I'm a Blogger user and implemented it with no problem. Kudos!!

Good job people! I wish you much success!

I only wish I made your top 100! hee hee

ICL :-)

 

To the SNAP.COM Team :

Your service has enhanced our readership's positive experience on our site. A hat tip to you for providing a rare level of flexibility using CSS classes. You clearly have the website designer in mind!!

This is NOT SATIRE :)

Best Regards….

Guys

For those of us who are catching up with the Snap Vibe.. and as we have already missed out on the $5,000 competition (!).. would you consider updating your list of Snap Preview Anywhere users from time-to-time?

I first used snap over at www.membergateonline.com for the Active Sites dept.

Just adding the javascript to the one dept, really brought the active sites listing 'to life'

After that I went crazy and put it on my blog, http://blog.screencastcentral.com and whils't doing so I made a screencast on how easy (as in "easy-peasy"!) it is to add SPA to a wordpress blog: http://blog.screencastcentral.com/how-to-add-snap-to-your-wordpress-blog/

Hope to make the SPA 100 list someday :-)

Just used SPA on my business site as well as my personal blog. Looks cool. Not sure if users find it popping up annoying or not. I hope they don't as I don't want them to be unhappy, atleast ones visiting my website. You guys can give your feadback on how it looks on my site - www.palewar.com.

Cheers!!
