Google Using Snap Preview Technology

October 26, 2007 at 6:53 am · Filed under Internet Marketing, Google

Taking a cue from other search engines, most notably ask.com, Google has now begun offering previews of website on search results. In that never ending quest of us users trying to consume as much information as quickly as possible, Google has determined that major changes are needed. From Snap’s website:

The 2 million websites and blogs that use Snap.com’s Snap Shots technology now share something with one of the world’s largest Internet companies:

Google, which maintains a website called SearchMash for testing new technologies and interface designs, is using Snap’s website preview technology. The new the SearchMash site uses Adobe’s Flash technology rather than AJAX which is used on the primary SearchMash site and selectively in Google’s main search results.

Said Snap.com CEO and Co-Founder Tom McGovern, “I’ve always loved using SearchMash. Now that it has website previews, there’s just so much more to love.”

Sites wishing to be part of the next wave of Snap Shots are encouraged to visit Snap Shots Central to learn what’s possible now and to register for the free service that’s enhancing sites worldwide.
