Very cool. Could launch that into a full blown social networking site and many people would be happy with it.

  i actually think the whole concept is dumb. just spent 45 minutes doing it to prove a point. too bad websnappr is throttling requests for the preview images.

    Oh come on, you know that is an iPhone app waiting to happen. Coverflow search of the web on your iPhone! That's something people will want.

    In case anyone wants a simple way to take screenshots of webpages (on Ubuntu): aptitude install xvfb xwd firefox netpbm Xvfb :4 -screen 0 1024x1024x24 & sleep 1 firefox --display=:4.0 -width 1024 -height 1024 & sleep 10 firefox -remote "openURL(http://news.ycombinator.com/)" sleep 5 xwd -root -silent -display :4.0 | xwdtopnm | pnmcut 1 125 800 600 | pnmtojpeg > screenshot.jpg Of course these commands can be automated in your language of choice. The only problems: firefox opens a new tab by default, so you can't close old ones; and there's no way to find out when a page is done loading.
