Snap, Crackle, and Pop
Monday, January 15th, 2007Ok, I’m on the fence about this Snap Plug-In that I’ve been using the last few days on my blog.
If you Mouse-Over this link, it shows what Snap does. My 1st thought was…"Hey, this is neat" (I like "Blog Toys"). I like the idea of being able to see a snapshot of a link rather than having to click on it…it’s NOT as though is a HUGE Bubble or anything.
Then, someone alerts me that there’s some sort of Anti-Snap campaign going???
The argument is something like…people are saying it’s annoying to be reading and every link is sort of a "Pop Up" ….Of course, I never thought of it like that otherwise I would have never installed it. Basically, I thought it might be nice to get a preview of things and then letting readers decide whether or not they wish to click it.
I’m told it eats up bandwidth as well…but what do I know.
So what do you guys think? Is it annoying? Neat? Or a passing Blog Phase?
I certainly don’t want to push readers away over a plug-in. I will say that after reading and hearing that there’s this big Snap Haters Club, it annoyed me to think that the creators of Snap probably busted their ass to come up with a nice fun little "Extra" for bloggers and they’re taking some flack for it.
Anyway..I’m on the fence and would like to hear what other readers and bloggers think. No, I CAN think for myself but to make up my mind before hearing all sides is silly
Off subject…I am suspended from my next hockey game for fighting that last game. It was either pay a fine or take the suspension. I thought my rep my might increase a little more if i took the suspension
ha!!!
