Many peaople are talking about a new search engine — Snap.com. What’s so special about it?

My two cents on Snap.com

  • It is the first search engine with big web page preview.
  • It integrate sponsor ads into search results.
  • It is fully powered by AJAX.
  • It is slow. Broadband connection required.
  • It offers pay-per-action ads to advertisers.
  • It takes two clicks to visit a web page in search results.
  • It uses outdated web page thumbnail for page preview
  • It keeps you in Snap.com (you can choose to open page in new window)

What others say about Snap.com:

  • “…this is definitely an interesting idea but it feels abit sluggish for me as you need to wait for the pictures to load…” — techgurls!!!
  • “By combining commercial and noncommercial results in the same column, Snap cleared enough space on its home page to provide a large enough box that will provide snapshots of each Web site that appears in the rankings.” — Yahoo! Finance
  • “My quick take is that I’m so used to Google’s dominant interface, I initially got lost using Snap. It takes some time to get the hang of it.” — John Battelle’s Searchblog

Bonus: Snap blog

Snap has an official blog at blog.snap.com, which is powered by WordPress.
