Personally - i found the number of image links a bit overwhelming - maybe try adding a bit of padding to the images? - it needs a lot more white space.

Snap.com offers a very nice feature for any websites.

Personally - i absolutely loathe snap.com, in fact - i summon the X in the corner if i get to a webpage that has it. I don't know why (but i can see how it can be useful)

Depends on your "target market" i suppose.

I think is good for the likes of gimmedat.ie or directories.
I wouldn't recommend it for a normal website use just for the sake of it.

Yeah - if used (very) sparingly it can be useful.

Actually - on that main page of gimmedat.ie with all the snap.com things loading up - you really have to space out the images more - more padding - more white space

Default Padding

Okay, i've done this on a test page GimmeDat.ie, the very Best of Irish Websites! Ireland's top Web Directory & Online Portal

I agree it does look a bit better. Should i add more padding? Should i roll it out to the other pages? Thanks for all comments.
