Neat Blog Widget for E-commerce Blogs

I was perusing a client’s blog today (Happy Green Baby) and when I moused over an image on one of their blog posts, I was greeted with a window that gave a peek into her e-commerce site’s item page to purchase that item.  While the window is open, I was given, well, a window of opportunity, to click on that item page.   Now, it is named similar to one of Solid Cactus’s Yahoo! Store Features, Snap Shop with a similar functionality, but this is a plug-in compatible with WordPress blogs.  Thought this would be neat for any e-commerce sites who are writing about products they sell on their blog- can certainly help with converting blog readers into customers!  Plus, it’s fun.  I like fun.

To learn more about this widget, I dug up the site where it is offered:  http://www.snap.com/

And, WordPress has a tutorial on how to use it:  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/snap-shots-

Here is how it looks:
