Drupal Websnapr Module
We decided to build and port the Websnapr website preview module for Drupal 5.1 since there was no previous website preview modules submitted to Drupal.
With the help of Gurpartap Singh , we had the module built in no time. The module provides fast preview bubbles of the website when you hover over them. To see how the preview bubbles look, simply hover your cursor over one of the example links below (currently disabled on SocialSEO.com):
- Yahoo
- CNN
- Drupal

Websnapr module for Drupal (last modified 6-12-07, Version - Drupal 5.1). Visit the official Websnapr module page on Drupal.
Here is more information and instructions on installing and setting up the module:
About
The WebSnapr Preview Bubble module is a simple, unobtrusive script used to display an overlay bubble showing a hyperlink target thumbnail using WebSnapr. It's a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers. Check the demo at:
http://www.websnapr.com/previewbubble/
Installation
Decompress the .tar.gz file and drop the entire uncompressed directories into 'sites/all/modules'. If this directory does not exist you may need to create it.
Enable the module at "www.example.com/drupal/?q=admin/build/modules" in Javascript package.
Configuration
The module should be ready for use as soon as it's enabled. However, there's a CSS Selector option on the module's settings page at "www.example.com/drupal/?q=admin/settings/websnapr" provided to make selection of hyperlinks to filter and enable the WebSnapr Preview Bubbles for.
Bubbles are always enabled for hyperlinks having class "previewlink", irrespective of any configuration. Do not forget to configure permissions for user roles to view WebSnapr Preview Bubbles at "www.example.com/drupal/?q=admin/user/access#module-websnapr"

Thank you very much for sharing Was looking for it for a long time..
Documentation Tweaks
For D6, the module permissions are at "/admin/user/permissions#module-websnapr".
By default, snapshots will appear only for links which are within a Drupal "node" context, not (for example) a menu. You can change that via the CSS selector at "/admin/settings/websnapr".
Each snapshot is generated by sending the relevant page's URL to a specialized server at "websnapr.com", which returns a possibly cached thumbnail image. So if you're developing on "localhost", all snapshots will be blank unless you're connected to the Internet. Conversely, snapshots for "localhost" or private intranet links will be blank. That's why the test snapshot of "drupal.org" offered at "/admin/settings/websnapr" will work once the module is enabled, but your own internal links will not until you deploy your Drupal tree to an externally accessible domain.
