Personally I’ll read the stories I’m interested in regardless of the snap, I think it’s a great tool but I never really found it useful.
Do it. I like to read every article here I can, but somtimes I dont have so much time so I think I would love this service.
I think its a god additon. It was the first thing that I noticed coming on to the site today (and the AOL ads).
I hate it. It interferes with normal hovering over a link to read the URL to find out if I want to click it. It’s just a piece of candy that ultimately is more annoy9ing than useful. I don’t need to watch a picture of where I’m about to go, because I’m not afraid of where I’m clicking to. I know where I’m clicking to, except your Snap thing interferes with me hovering over the link to find out where I’m clicking to. So suck it!
I don’t like it either, I find it really annoying!
No, please, it is annoying. I hover to check URLs a lot, and I generally only want things to pop up when I click. I clicked around and went to snap to look at how it worked, and I definitely want less of this in my life.
