oh snap

If you're using Firefox, you can block Snap previews, like what LiveJournal just added, as long as you have Adblock installed and block "http://shots.snap.com/*".  Disabling graphic previews at your journal's Viewing Options page doesn't help for the rest of the site, and the Options menu within each Snap preview that allows you to disable the stupid things doesn't work at all.

Looks like i might just stop paying for this journal after all.

"Based on your positive response" always means, "We think it's kind of lame, but it could be a money maker and now we can add another feature to the features bullet list, which is good for marketing."

There wouldn't be the taint of guilt associated with these sorts of business deals if they simply said, 'We added a new feature. Use it or don't," like they do for every addition they roll out that doesn't involve making or spending money. And I half suspect you all wouldn't be so grudgeful about it.

I still haven't seen this feature. I've only read bitching about it.
