Web Page Image Capture Prototype. Try it.
May 14th, 2007 by Jim Spadaccini
For an upcoming project, we’re developing an application that automatically takes a snapshot of a Web page and produces a variety of thumbnail-sized images. This application was developed using Firefox on Linux along with some C programming and a little bit of Ruby on Rails development. Please try out this prototype: grab any site you like. Let us know how it works.
Try the Site Screen Shot v.01
(Update August 6, 2007: We’ve taken web page image capture prototype down permanently. The RSS Mixer prototype is still available and there are no plans to take it down.)

This is a neat service, is it possible to grab the images from your site using an API of sorts or would I have to use your service, save the image, and then upload it to my site?

For the moment we see this simply as one element for a larger project–not a service in its own right. Thanks for your interest though, we’ll certainly let you know if we decide something differently in the future.
