 WORLD WIDE WEB — In an widely-distributed email announcement, Snap.com today announced The SPA 100: A Selection Of 100 Sites Using Snap Preview Anywhere. Of the 100 sites Snap.com listed as their picks to honor a few of the most interesting Snap Preview Anywhere sites, Snap.com included 10 sites in the announcement. Rocketry Planet had the privilege of being listed fifth.
Since being released just two months ago, Snap.com has been integrated into 30,000 websites worldwide and has generated over 70 million site previews. Because of the overwhelming response to the Snap Preview technology, WordPress has agreed to add Snap Preview Anywhere to over 600,000 websites.
Snap Preview Anywhere has enabled Rocketry Planet users to preview the nearly 700 Web links to hobby rocketry-related Web sites from our database as well as has allowed users to preview Web sites mentioned in the various news articles, press releases, product reviews and other pieces of dynamic content that we publish. Without Snap Preview, users basically were flipping a coin as to whether or not they wanted to follow external links through to their destination. Now, they can make that decision before leaving our site. As a result, we have created via Snap Preview a richer user experience and increased the stickiness of our site at the same time.

Date: Friday, January 12, 2007 3:08PM Dear Website Owner,
About two months ago, we launched Snap Preview Anywhere because a number of websites had asked if they could use our website previews on their sites. Little did we know that it would explode. In just 8 weeks, over 30,000 sites worldwide have already invited us to be part of their sites. We've generated over 70,000,000 previews. And we've helped millions of your users get more from your site. Now, thanks to your acceptance of Snap Preview Anywhere, WordPress, the company that powers so much of the blogosphere, has agreed to put us on 600,000 blogs! Read all about it. Thank you--this would not have happened without you!
So, allow us to honor a few of the most interesting Snap Preview Anywhere Sites. One of the great benefits for Snap.com has been all of the incredible sites we've gotten to know. We've compiled a list of 100 great Snap Preview Anywhere Sites on our blog (and there are thousands we wish we could have included), but here are 10 just to get you started: See the other 90 sites and keep a look out for more listings of great Snap Preview Anywhere sites. Warmest Regards,
Team Snap
