Blogging Tip: Use Snap Previews to Tell Readers What Outbound Site Links Look Like
ByIf you haven’t noticed, when you hover over an outbound link on Church Communications Pro it gives you a popup preview of what the website looks like.
This neat free service is from a new search engine called Snap. I sure do like previewing what outbound links look like … how about you?
Darren at ProBlogger is doing it to test its effectiveness as well. Let me know what you think too.
I personally do not like them. When I am looking for a particular link on a page, they popup and cover the other links and text.
They can be slow to load, depending on what computer I am working on and seeing a picture is not as helpful as using good link text for the anchor (and preferably making use of the title attribute).
