Link previews: Do you like ‘em in the TeleBlog?

If you put your cursor over most external links in the TeleBlog, you’ll see images of the pages that the links point to. Is this experimental plug-in a help or a hassle?
Update, 5:45 p.m. EST: I’ve had mixed feeling myself, and others are actually negative. So I’ve shut off the Snap plug-in for WordPress. It may persist in your browser cache, but believe me, it’s no longer there, and besides, here’s something you can do to keep Snap from bothering you even when you visit other sites.

I don’t care for the image preview. It’s kind of annoying for me.
Another blog put them on, then took them off. That seems to be a feature that initially seems cool, but then gets annoying quickly. Too bad this couldn’t be controlled by a browser plugin, so the reader can have more control over it. Nice idea though.
I vote no.
Very annoying. Glad you have taken them off.
Absolutely NO!

May I vote a second time to have them taken off? According to this little poll you’ve held here, nobody seems to like them.
Hi, Branko. They’re off, as noted, and will neverbe back. I assume you’ve already done the cache act. I appreciated everyone’s input. Thanks. David
