Tayari's Blog: Multi-Faceted Technical Difficulties

Things are haywire here on the blog. For a couple hours, the whole site was down, and so was the parent site that hosts it. I don't know what that was all about.

Now, I have noticed something very improper with the snapshots. When you put your mouse over a hyperlink, it provides a preview. I like that. But lately, I have noticed links that I have not inputted. Apparently snap is using software to provide links to products and websites that it contracts with. I am going to have my web guy disable snapshots as soon as possible. This blog is not for commerical purposes and I am very angry that this software is being used without my permission.

Hi, Tayari,

The extra links you're seeing are a technology we're testing called Engage. It actually links to related articles at Portfolio.com and not products or ads. You can easily disable Engage and not Snap Shots by visiting your account page (see your welcome email) and selecting the Advanced Options tab. You may also want your logo and further personalize your Snap Shots.

Best,

Paul Angles
