Snap Shots is a nifty feature that pops up a little preview-box whenever you run your cursor over a link. But should you use it?

> Although I can see why people might think this is a cool and useful feature, I go bats whenever I run across it. And that answers the question. I find the little popups (that don’t seem to go away easily) quite annoying.

I totally agree with you on the popups I for one cant stand popups of any kind.

Thanks! I hoped it wasn’t just me-- after you start seeing this kind of thing show up more and more, you kinda start to wonder. :)

I just find this type of popup annoying in that, too often, it interferes with mouse movement. That’s annoying, and not too user-friendly.

Was actually considering whether to use these on a new blog but im definitely not going to now that people here have made their thoughts clear I see TechCrunch has used it for a long time though
