About Snap Shots
Snap Shots are a radical departure from the traditional Internet model of forcing users to browse web site after web site, manually trying to find what they’re looking for. Snap Shots are interactive and put users in control of their surfing, making for a much richer user experience. Users trigger Snap Shots whenever they mouse over a link or the Snap Link Icon. Upon triggering, a small window appears providing the user with additional content relevant to the subject of the link or the enabled text. Snap Shots has been implemented on more than 2 million sites and blogs worldwide and is used over 20 million times daily.
