HD implemented a small utility on the main page called Snapshots. Here are the details, straight from the website. Make sure you check out the main page and let us know what you think.

Welcome to the next generation of everything. Snap Shots™ intelligently brings users the right content, at the right place, at the right time, in a convenient shot.
Snap Shots enhance links with visual previews of the destination site, including summaries of Wikipedia and IMDb, YouTube videos, stock charts and more.

For website users, it’s an enhanced way to surf because links are no longer blind, but a source of information.

For website owners, it’s a more engaging way to write and edit by using links as illustrations rather than as diversions.

Cool utility. Don't know how much I'll use it, though, because I don't visit the main page as much.

Looks pretty cool, I'm excited to see these new changes to the main page in the next litle while.

It's cool. But in my opinion, it just clutters things up; I don't see that it serves a real practical purpose.

Doesn't seem to work with Firefox

update: it works only if the firefox ad blocker plugin is disabled.
