I’ve just enabled link previews from Snap via a wordpress plugin. When the mouse hovers over a link on this blog, an image preview is shown. This is one of the better browsing experience enhancements I’ve seen in a while.

The fact that they have a link to their site on every preview is a clever and powerful viral marketing technique.

Ever since Google made Google Trends available I’ve been meaning to blog about one of the first searches I typed in. Jack Schofield at the Guardian Technology blog beat me to it at the time. It’s the last link in his article. The trend I meant to blog about is the difference between the Linux distributions Ubuntu and Suse (Jack throws in Fedora for good mesure).

Another trend which might be interesting to watch is Microsoft’s new CTO Ray Ozzie. Checking out the trend for Ray vs. the dynamic Google duo is interesting.
