Interestingly enough, this technology would be perfect for AlltheWeb

added to it the Yahoo Mindset where you are able to use a Slider to go from a Commerical to an Informational SERPs bias

Of it could be a partnership with Google - where the SERPS also include the individual PageRanks of each listing.

Regardless of whatever happens to SNAP, this fine AJAX tech / templete DOES have potential and should be reused or licensed.

It has a nice pre-view feature. How can we get rid of a search box if a result is not among the first ones listed?

Er, big deal. Doesn't Revenue.net already do this? They're not venture funded and making somewhere between $50-$80M easy...

But should agree that their UI is exciting.

Yeah that's their big conundrum; They likely won't get enough people to use their search engine so their advertising model is really moot. I think a better business model for them is to focus on developing a new ad network that uses their PPA ad engine. Perhaps they can go into partnerships with the many ad networks.

Without visitors to snap, paying for advertising is worthless. Isn't this the same thing as affiliate programs?
