Snap Shots Link Preview Wed 31 Dec 08

I have just added Snap Shots link preview. Now when you mouse over an external link with the Snap Shot icon ( ) you'll get a preview of the linked site allowing you to look at it before clicking on it. [Update January 3rd - I've removed the icon as is seemed to be cluttering things up. The preview will still work as you mouse over the external links.]

The configuration of the preview window was easy and installation was a quick install of some java script on the template pages. The also have 1-click installation of widgets for a number of blog platforms.

Let me know what you think of this. Is it something helpful or just clutter?
