Making hyperlinks a Snap

I was reading a post today on Jon Udell's blog and noticed a really interesting facility that displayed a preview when you hovered the mouse over a hyperlink.

This is provided by a preview facility from Snap.com.

It looks like this might be useful for blogging, so I've installed it on my blog and I'm going to see how well it works in practice.

It is possible to disable the Snap option for individual hyperlinks.

For example, here's a book that I'm reading at present without the Snap preview enabled.

Know Your Numbers, Outlive Your Diabetes.

And here's the same book hyperlink with the Snap preview enabled.
Know Your Numbers, Outlive Your Diabetes.

Let me know what you think about Snap. I'll also let you know anything good or bad that I find out about it.

The Diabetes Technology Blog is focused on using technology to life better with diabetes. I review: blood glucose monitors; continuous glucose monitor; blood sugar meters; diabetes software and living with diabetes.

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I wear a Cozmo 1800 insulin pump and a Dexcom SEVEN CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
