Google now has a licensing agreement with Snap, the website preview technology that you often see on various blogs and oter publications. Google’s test site, SearchMash, will be using Snap’s technology to try it on for size.

A few tweaks have been implemented, though, so that it can fit in better with Google’s purposes, user interface, etc. The look of the snap preview on SearchMash will more resemble Google, and it will also be using Adobe’s Flash technology instead of Snap’s Ajax. Unlike the roll-over affect you’re accustomed to, the Snap preview appears on the right hand side of the page, for web and image search results. This feature doesn’t seem to be fully activated just yet.

Weird technology and can over view the page before click.

I already use a greasmonkey script which uses snap previews. It's pretty nice... http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/10191
