Website URL screenshot, thumbnail service, web page URL link capture thread here ..

First look at website URL link screenshot or thumbnail, before clicking on the unknown and not sure URL link - it's better for your security. Looking first a URL as an image, helps you to filter malicious websites. Know where unknown link is going before you click, look before you click. In real-time.

Web page URL capture you can get with online services, or search engine thumbnail previews ..

Search engines with thumbnail previews :

* Exalead.com search engine - the search results with thumbnails: http://www.exalead.com/search/
TIP: If you want to see thumbnail of your link, you can also change the thumb on the home page, by changing its URL.

* LYCOS search: http://www.lycos.com/

* RedZ : http://redz.com/home.html


-----------------------------------------

Other possibilities:

* Use WebShot (free version too ..): http://www.websitescreenshots.com/
WebShot allows you to take screenshots of web pages and save them as full sized images or thumbnails. Screenshots images can be output in the JPG, GIF, PNG, or BMP formats.
The freeware version comes with a demo of the command line interface, which can be purchased, and used to streamline the screenshot process on whole websites. The server edition of WebShot comes with a DLL that will allow you to embed WebShot technology in your own applications.
In the Features, read:
'Blocks most popups (javascript popups, script dialogs, injected via wmp popups, etc)' - so if no thumbnail - you see why ..

Another good visual search engine with big thumbnail previews I found:
Oolone.com : http://oolone.com/

Oolone.com is a 'visual' search engine - results are displayed as images or pictures of websites, rather than as blocks of text ..

PS. Other URL link screenshot services:


Site2Pic: Give me a web page URL and I'll give you the current image of it and a link to that image. Take Screenshots of Websites and Share Them Easily : http://site2pic.com/

- Hmm, and what to think about Wayback Internet Archive website living 'screens' ?.. : http://archive.org/web/web.php
To start surfing the Wayback, type in the web address of a site or page where you would like to start, and press 'Take Me Back' enter button. Then select from the archived dates available. The resulting pages point to other archived pages at as close a date as possible.
- Take Me Back, please ..
