I recently had a customer who was misinformed as to what the SnapNames "SnapShot" function does, and I thought I would share his concerns here since there may be others who get bitten by this.
SnapShot is NOT a real-time notification like a SnapBack without the actual registration function attached.
The SnapShot function will update you once a week - long after the domain information has changed - and in the case of my customer, after the domain dropped and was picked up by someone else.
My customer believed that SnapShot would notify him immediately when the state of the domain changed - allowing him to register the domain manually instead of using any of the drop services. It turns out the actual domain he wanted has dropped for three days and was then registered manually - and he missed the window because he thought that the SnapShot was going to tell him the domain was available...
