If the link points to some sort of rich media (e.g. videos, images, audio, Amazon product shots, Flicker photostreams, stock charts, maps, etc.), users can view and interact with the media in question right then and there without leaving the original site.</p><p>Think of it as viewing through a window into the world behind the typical link on a site.</p><p>However, by including rich media support, this widget offers much more than a simple preview. Some might argue that in doing so, Snap Shots diminish the potential traffic gains of normal links to source content, but the user has everything to gain.</p><p><b>Runners up:</b></p><ul><li>2nd Place: <a href="http://www.widgetbox.com/">Widgetbox</a></li><li>3rd Place: <a href="http://www.rockyou.com/">Rock You</a></li></ul><p><b>The rest, in alphabetical order:</b></p><ul><li><a href="http://addthis.com/">AddThis</a> </li><li><a href="http://alertthingy.com/">Alert Thingy</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.box.net/">Box.net</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.chumby.com/guide">Chumby widgets</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.kickapps.com/">KickApps Platform</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.trueanthem.com/">trueAnthem</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.yourminis.com/">yourminis</a> </li></ul> <br /> <p><a href="/../awards/tis100/winners">← Back to All Categories</a> | <a href="/../awards/tis100/2008/tis-100-winner-audio-and-video-hulu">Next Category: Audio &amp; Video →</a></p> Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:33:13 -0400 Eric Hill 120224 at http://www.thestandard.com
