I like it.

So now instead of referring surfers they just use your content altogether

[Slappin Fish]

I like it.

No webmaster should like his. If surfers don't leave google to see content guess who pockets advertising revenue for that content?

[kazbalah]

Dont worry soon our whole sites will be on google, we wont be needed anymore

pretty slick, but like Slappin Fish said, the only company that will benefit from this is google...

[Kolargol]

no cache

Hm at that resolution text shouldn't be readable, so the surfers will go only after nice looking sites -> more clicks on sites with hot babes?

i wish google would stop adding stupid features. i liked it as it was (not just because i make more $ from plain old boring google (compared to this, the new google image, google instant etc) but as a surfer i think these features are crap.

should be able to disable it though in robots.txt or a meta tag so its not a biggie. plus google won't ever show our kind of sites ;)

[Agent 488]

good point. there will probably be a preview blacklist or maybe adjust the content filter like imagesearch.

Don't be ridiculous you dumb cunt. Unless all of your content fits in a 400x1000 panned window frame it's just a preview of your website.

If your website doesn't SUCK, compared to bullshit SEO sites with no real content on them, this will increase your clickthroughs drastically.

That right there.

[V_RocKs]

Yup.. Now you can actually read the lyrics you are querying for instead of massive popup ads.

awww so angry did I hurt your little feelings?

Resolution is high enough to read, the snippets on google news alone brought on a Murdoch vs Google stare down, you think showing the whole page will fly?

A lot of sites out there still pay writers for content, not sure they want that content to be shown without their ads next to it.

nice idea, they are still the number one inventors
