   When I saw SNAP appeared on my blog without any notice…..wow~couldn’t be more happier.
   Thanx.

   This is fantastic! Thank you!

   Thanks so much! I love it.

   WOW! I love the snap feature! You guys are getting better and better all the time.

   And I love the very most that you keep the very worst spam off my blog. Thank you, thank you for protecting us against the purveyors of filth!

   It seems I’m in the minority for disliking it. I think it looks cheap, and reminds me of those annoying pop-ups I used to get in days gone by.

   Nice that you’ve provided this feature for those who want it, but I was relieved to find how to get it disabled.

   Awesome! Thank You.
9. KarenV Jan 14th at 10:26 am

   I love it! Thanks very much.

    It works, it’s free, it’s awesome! And last but not least – it makes impression on girls:) Friend of mine said lately – “Hmm… your blog looks so high-tech”:) Thanks WordPress crew.
11. zelig Jan 14th at 12:15 pm

    Thank you guys.
    This new feature adds even more value to your service.
12. CuriousAngel Jan 14th at 12:54 pm

    put a sock in it, if you’re not happy with what you’ve got then you can do one. People have obviously put hardwork behind this to give it to you for free and you come and start whining about it?

    Next time just say thanks and keep your mouth shut.

    Anywhos, Thanks for providing us with it, yet another web 2.0 feature other blogs dont have.

    Nice stuff, that Snap! Having all these tool available in WordPress makes it a pleasure to blog here.
16. Phil Jan 14th at 2:07 pm

    I like it! It’s even been educational to scroll through comments here and preview thumbnails of commenters blogs!

    KUDOS!

    Yeah! Thanks Matt!!
18. womanek Jan 14th at 2:48 pm

    It’s a very nice feature, I must say. But there’s one problem… Although the fact, that it’s enabled on my blog – it doesn’t seem to work. Could anybody tell me – what should I do?
    I’ve already removed the cookie and received it again, but it didn’t help.
19. Scavella Jan 14th at 3:41 pm

    I love it, but not all my readers do, so I’ve turned it off for a while.
20. Mike Jan 14th at 4:32 pm

    Thank you Matt. It’s very charming in my blogroll area. 🙂
21. Shae Jan 14th at 5:01 pm

    I really don’t like that you enabled this feature by default. I didn’t ask for this. I understand that I’m at your discretion because you provide wordpress.com for free, but I still don’t like it. And I know I can turn it off (and I have). Again, I don’t like have ‘features’ turned on that I didn’t ask for.
37. LaBelleProvince Jan 15th at 12:39 am

    Many thanks!
38. Anita Marie Jan 15th at 1:05 am

    I loved this option but my computer didn’t- it took forever for my own blog to completely show up (and my blog alone) so I disabled the option and everything is fine now. Gosh I hate being the odd duck out…its NO FUN

    Hello WordPress.com Blog Owners,

    My name is Jason Fields, I work as the Product Evangelist for Emerging Technology for Snap.com and the Snap Preview Anywhere™ product. I wanted to chime in on a few things that may be of use to you all.

    Since the Snap Preview Anywhere™ BETA on WordPress.com (with about 10% of the WordPress.com blogs) a few weeks ago, we have made some major product design and end user enhancements from the wealth of feedback we received from you all. Those enhancements have been included in the latest release of the product to you all here now.

    • Options: Added an ‘Options’ menu to allow End Users more control of the Preview Bubble.
    • Set Delay: End Users can ‘Set Delay’ of Preview Bubble (Short, Medium, Fast)
    • Opt-Out: End Users can ‘Opt-Out’ of Preview Bubble (Site Specific or for ALL sites)

    We listen to and read all of your feedback and emails and take time to think about how we can address it all in current/future product releases. Thanks again for your continuous flow of comments on Snap Preview Anywhere™ here at WordPress.com!

    Cheers,
    Jason Fields
    Product Evangelist, Emerging Technology

    The Snap option brought my blog to screeching halt. I don’t know about other bloggers, but I have hundreds of links in my blogroll. The purpose of my having a blogroll is to access blogs and web sites QUICKLY, not to wait for my mouse to be released slowlyslowlyslowly (watching an hourglass), then to see a picture of the site I want to go to, click the site and then finally get to the site, only to return to my blogroll and do this all again. What good is a fast computer if it takes (literally) ten times the time it did before I had this feature? Very cool idea not yet ready for prime time!

    Thanks a lot, it was a really cool tool 😛
52. MCA Jan 15th at 11:03 pm

    It is a nice feature but also is slow or perpetually queing. I ‘m not what the benefit to the viewer is but since I have seen a lot of blogs with “tinyurl’s” in sites at least they know they aren’t being redirected to some spam site.
53. zaletabakman Jan 15th at 11:14 pm

    Wow

    Thank you so much!!!
54. joeflirt Jan 16th at 2:46 am

    I, like others that are not a fan of this toy, am really disappointed that you would enable this junk by default. It is a nice toy. But that is all it is a toy. Not that my blog is “professional” but this just slows things down without any real benefit other than the brief “wow” factor that wears off several minutes later.

    I appreciate the work and effort and the striving to make WordPress.com more friendly to more people, but please leave the choices to me as to what to enable on my blog in the future.

60. Matt Jan 16th at 4:23 pm

    Wow, this is almost as annoying as adware.

    Would have been nice if the default setting were “disabled”. Thanks for at least leaving the option to turn it off.

    It is great….. Pity that it cant take screen shots of flash sites….. If it could this would complete a very useful addition/feature.

66. Jana Bouc Jan 17th at 5:55 am

    Visitors to my site have complained about it so I’ve turned it off. It gets in the way of their seeing the pictures on my site.
67. lostmelodies Jan 17th at 2:59 pm

    Thank you for adding the the snaplive feature. I think it’s great. Would you be able to add that feature to the dashboard? It’d be great to see a snap of where people click, which blog is linking to your blog, etc. Thoughts? Thanks!

68. Jacqui Jan 18th at 12:31 am

    I love this feature. I was a member of the beta group without knowing it, so was wondering what happened to it. Glad to see it’s back, haha.

    Snaps for WordPress.com!
69. LouCypher Jan 18th at 4:29 am

    Thanks for the most annoying feature
70. NAyK Jan 18th at 11:46 am

    Yes, after a while it does get a little bothersome… even irritating. Thanks for allowing us to disable it in the presentation menu. Actually, I liked the idea of the “disable in this site only” option… but it didn’t work. so I’ve just disabled it entirely. It was fun while it lasted.
71. monomaniac Jan 18th at 7:25 pm

    Great feature!
72. notlikethosepeople Jan 18th at 10:20 pm

    It’s obviously going to be popular, so thanks for making it an option. But an anti-accessibility feature as default? Please reconsider that.
73. 1ofHis Jan 19th at 2:59 am

    Cool
81. fourcrows Jan 22nd at 2:39 pm

    I do like this quite a lot, but I’ve noticed it doesn’t have much of a refresh rate. I know this could be cumbersome, but the sites I have and work with are changing every day (which made it exciting…to know when to click or not to click) so it’s actually become something of a hinderance for my readers (and possibly for my business in the future….)

    Sadly, I think I need to turn it off.

86. bonniebruno Jan 25th at 6:15 pm

    Matt, I’ve been using it on my personal website, so I was glad when it went active here. I’m wondering, is there any way you could add the extra coding so hyperlinked pictures in a sidebar widget can use Snap preview?
87. paulmwatson Jan 25th at 8:37 pm

    Thanks for the effort guys but please don’t auto enable this for existing WordPress.com blogs. Ask us first, I had to search for a good few minutes to find the option to turn it off. A co-worker had to ask me how to turn it off, he couldn’t find the option without help (he’s a programmer, he isn’t clueless.)
88. skg046 Jan 25th at 9:33 pm

    It’s an interesting feature, but thank you very much indeed for also allowing us to disable it. 😀 When Snap is on, it bugs the hell out of me.
89. archmaille Jan 26th at 9:59 pm

    Pretty amazing! Where do I need to go to get it on my other blogs not hosted by WordPress?
90. ohlog Jan 27th at 12:42 am

    A bit annoying. Not usability friendly.

    — I think the feature should have been added ‘off’ by default.

    — It should be ‘off’ by default for newly created blogs as well.

    Those who like the concept or want to try it, can then opt-in. Snap* Snap* 🙂

94. Phil Jan 31st at 9:09 pm

    After using SNAP a while, I’ve come to appreciate that I can turn it off when I want.
    If I’ve a few in view on my opening page it’s tolerable but when there are quite a few, I’d rather turn it off so my readers don’t have to read around thumbnail windows to see what I’ve written.

    Thanks for including the toggle switch!

    I have come to really hate this! It is the most annoying thing in blogging today!
97. Kevin Feb 4th at 2:21 am

    It was fun to try out for a few weeks, but I’ve turned it off now and am feeling good about that decision. I just got tired of it popping up all the time and stealing my links’ URLs off my browser’s status bar.

    Still, I’m sure some people love the feature. However, since it mostly just amounts to blog bling, it really should be off by default, with the option to toggle it on. As a design philosophy new blogs should be created with extras turned off.

98. secretgeek Feb 17th at 10:08 am

    This is the worst idea you EVER had. snap.com sucks. Badly.
99. swftoys Mar 9th at 12:39 am

    This feature is really cool. Should a spam comment get past akismet because it has 1 hyperlink in it, you can actually preview the link using SNAP without having to click to a dubious site.

    Thanks for this nifty ‘extra’!
