Why Snap Previews Are a Bad Idea
by Patrick Ruffini :: January 31st, 2007 7:45 amI was wondering how long it would take for someone to say this. Those Snap link previews that far too many reputable bloggers are bolting onto their sites serve no useful purpose whatsoever.
What do I care what a site looks like before I go? Aren’t I going there for the content? This has reinforced how little design actually matters in whether and how often I go to a site. At least this is very true for blogs.
I’ve put some work into the design and usability of this site, but you’d still come if it were just a white screen with text… right?
