Snap adds social networking profile, RSS previews
Snap Technologies, owners of Snap.com, today announced the addition of two preview features to its visual approach to search called Snap Shots. These features involve social networking profiles and RSS feeds.
ProfileShot, said Snap, delivers details about people when it discovers information referencing social network pages. The profile contains the username, age, gender, location, tagline and a photo — all contained in the shot window. Links from MySpace are the first to be supported with additional support for other social networking sites in the near future.
RSS Shot, meanwhile, provides previews of sites enabled with RSS feeds. The RSS Shot will show in the window a summary (including date/time stamp) of the most recent articles posted (typically 2 to 4) from the feed or an excerpt from a linked ‘permalink’ page for the blog.
Additional overall enhancements to the Snap Shots service, added Snap, include the Zoom feature, which enables anyone to increase (and then decrease) the size of any Snap Shot bubble at will during a user’s session.
