I am the Vice President of Product at Snap. I'll be blogging on our products and keep you updated on new features & enhancements as we release them. Prior to joining Snap, I was Chief of Product for Spark Networks (online dating provider - JDate.com, AmericanSingles.com and others) where I oversaw product and design. Prior to Spark, I worked for AOL as Director of Account Management for ICQ Mobile. Read my personal blog - http://www.meydad.com

Earlier today we released some design teaks to the Shots that are rich with text by increasing line spacing and padding in order to improve text readability and legibility.
These changes can be seen on WikiShot, RSS Shot and ProductShot
Enjoy.
