Thumbshots dispaly a thumbnail of your site.

[Prashant]

I just cam across this cool site which creates thumbshots of websites

using the following codes below we cna display the thumbshot of a website. They say that the link to theire website should also be placed as they check for it somehow and if its not there they will ban the usage for 30days. We can keep that link but hide it from users view by enclosing it inside a dive and they add style to make it hidden.
<img src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.aspx?url=techwyse.com" border="1" />
<a href="http://www.thumbshots.com" target="_blank" title="This site uses Thumbshots previews">This site uses Thumbshots previews</a>

If you notice we just need to replace techwyse.com with any other domain name and it gets displayed. Newer sites like say gpablo doesnt result any output but i think a request for it gets queued up. The time for processing it is uncertain. If we need instant results they have a profesions service for 4$ per month.

I think we can use this for dispalying clients site snaphost when displaying reports for them or in client center. What do you think?

I like this! CAn you tell me a business application that developers at TW could use it for? I understand the concept in regards to Google and displaying results etc but how would a development company use it?
