It amazes me how people can fail to grasp the problem with any sort of automated thumbnail generation.

Take for example a TGP. Your selling point, or advertising, for each link is the associated thumbnail. It onlys follows reason that you would want this to be the best possible thumbnail. I've yet to see any thumbnail generation script of any sort that can make a better thumbnail that I can, every single time.

Imagine if you had a brick and mortar store. Your sign out front would be your face to the world. Wouldn't you want to make sure that sign was the best it could be? Would you be satisfied just having some store randomly generate a sign from a list of words? Of course not.

The long and short of it is that there's no short cuts to doing a job right.
