"I'm a french doctor and have created Global Booster Santé a directory of the 2000 most populars health web sites. My directory pages show thumbshots next to the site description giving the user a better idea of what the health site looks like and a quick way, by clicking the image, to go to the choosen site. It tooks me a few minutes to include thumbshots in my link template and I started seeing them while I was testing in my local computer! Great. Very easy for those who are using templates." -- Dr. Maurice Chriqui, Global Booster Sante
