nery neat. looks like this company Girafa is supplying the technology

i was thinking the same thing

as long as the bandwith is on them.

good to be in the top 6 for sure

playing with it right now.

that looks like it'd cut down on the amount of traffic the SE guru's would be getting because ppl could see that the same site is plastered on the first 20 listings haha im sure you guys would find a way around it though =)

wouldnt putting a nice hpa or fpa before ur main page help get the clicks?

it's been a long time since a site impressed me that fast. I like this concept and as kman said it can affect a lot on which listings the surfers will click.

i saw it advertised as "get results, before clicking" or something like that. It looks like a project under developement and not just a concept done for fun.

Well, I searched for a term to pull my site up and the main index is displayed even though the page listed is different. Link goes to the one it should but that isn't what's in the pic. Spammers may have a prob.

Google have been playing with site thumb previews for months (atleast), they also had revolving results up for a day or so.

That's pretty nice. Have you tried it already? Curious to know about how it works, but wanted an opinion before installing it :)

MSN started doing this a long time ago, didn't they?

The thumb apears to be only of the main page. so if you have
yoursite.com/somedir/

a thumb of yoursite.com will be displayed rather than /somedir/

check http://www.sexgine.com :)

We got it too..

I like this. Great for the surfer and probably a lot harder on the SE spammer. I wonder what the update time is on the cached images. Same as spidering I would guess.

hey for once our site showed up first lol..

Wouldn't this take too much bandwidth for google to use fully on their site?

As a surfer I like it. As a webmaster I wonder how sites will look which are developed in flash or other media elements. Seems to be a good way to screen out useless sites but will definetly start to hurt the SE spammers.

Think about how sites look that are done in plain old html - our link list still lists where it should in Google but the surfer gets a thumb that looks boring because most of the index page is text.

The ones that are going to attract the surfer are the ones with a sexy image and they may not be the top listings.

Nice, but they're not the first... for example the biggest czech SE ( http://www.seznam.cz ) has been using it for half a year already.

Very nice. I like how it exposes cloakers.
