Yesterday, DocStoc debuted a new feature called DocShots. Interactive pop-ups have been popular, one way or another, for a few years now. DocShots takes that one step further.
Link to any document on DocStoc, instead of embedding it, and it will preview in a pop-up window. This free service converts any posted document on your website or blog into a hover-able link that enables instant online document preview. With DocShots, there are no heavy downloads or disruptive wait times.
The pop-up window size is customizable and you have access to many of the standard DocStoc features within the pop-up.
This is technology similar to Snap Shots, where you can hover over a link and view a preview of the external site. It’s easy enough to add DocShots to your site – it’s a snippet of HTML code you drop into your master page or template. You only need to add it once and it will convert your relevant links forever after. You can get your own DocShots code or watch a rather informative YouTube video (also embedded below).
