Web previews are mostly poor

R/WW asks Browster Is Gone, But Are Web Previews Here To Stay?

I was at a startup event and got to see Browster. I was a tad shocked that there was a business model there, and I guess there wasn’t? The major problem was the plugin that had ads all over the place too.

I see snap used on more and more blogs. I don’t think I like mini versions of a web page being shown to me. Most of the time it is all too small to mean anything.

There is room for context specific popups (a la netflix, gap, etc) but a micro page makes little sense to me.

And, let me choose if I want it. Let’s decide that if I hold down [insert key here] while mousing over it does the magic preview thing. If not, all I want is for the browser to tell me where I am going via the URL. Leave me alone!

    When I visit programming talk I find out a hot topic talking about Levyo Ajax Technology Gallery. Their site is at http://levyo.com demo at http://gettingzone.com .They build Ajax application on PHP, Mysql. Their gallery runs so fast, especially when I login, register, submit, rate, write comment, upload, process, Tab feature… It’s great.

    How can they do especially “unlimited tab feature”, you can add new category in Admin CP, it generates new Tab automatically?
