Thumboo.com - Generating Website Thumbnails Easily

In a nutshell, Thumboo is a new (and free) tool that will let you generate a thumbnail of any website. That is, you can use it in order to promote your website or the website of an acquaintance or colleague. The process for creating the thumbnail itself couldn’t be simpler, as all you have to do is paste the relevant URL into the provided input box for the thumbnail to be produced. Nothing else should be done – you don’t have to sign up, and you don’t have to disclose information of any kind.

The one and only aspect of the process over which you can exert some control is the actual size of the thumbnail, as you are allowed to have your pick from four featured ones. These are “Small”, “Medium”, “Large” and “Huge”.

Note that an API is likewise provided. An account must be created if you want to use it, but that’s it. Access to this API is provided at no cost whatsoever.

Ultimately, the programmers make a valid point: it is always more appealing to link from images and not from strings of text. If you agree, this site will be perfect for you. And if you don’t it might just help you change your mind.
