Is that the same method used to display the "binocular" views of websites on Ask.com now?

If you haven't seen the Ask.com search results in awhile, check out the ones with a little graphic of a pair of binoculars. Mouseover the graphic and an image of the website appears in a little display.

Here's their faq page about binoculars...

I can think of some interesting uses for that effect.

I like that idea, going to try some searches there, when i amhunting for new sponsors etc for a niche and use the se's to see what is out there, i hate being sent to a spyware/virus site or popup hell, would be nice to see the binocular view before hand.
