I am not a fan of Snap​.com and their lit­tle wid­get to pro­duce a use­less micro-image of a web­site when you acci­den­tally com­mit a mouse fly­over on an unsus­pect­ing web link, and I’m not alone. Paul McE­nany on Snap: “Ok, I’m beg­ging now. Please, please for the love of baby jesus and bud­dha and every­thing else holy, please stop using snap​.com every­body. I swear to you, if one more thing pops up on my com­puter just because I acci­den­tally roll over it, I swear, this is going to hap­pen…” A grue­some Youtube video follows.

Dave Winer is com­plain­ing about snap too… which is ironic, because the page com­plain­ing about it employs it.

Scoble removed his, and Kot­tke points to the sil­ver bul­let… by link­ing to a Snap​.com page where you can set a cookie to dis­able them on every site you visit. That one may be the best cookie-link I’ve found online since the Dou­bleClick pri­vacy opt-out page.
