I found http://www.sitethumbshot.com/ through search engine. It looks promising. Comments or feedback. It looks cheap as well (http://www.sitethumbshot.com/premium_service.php).

I though i might add this, this is PHP5 only code which i used to pull the images from the pageglimpse and copy them to my server – not that i dont believe they will continue with the free service :D

Thanks Eric, not trivial for me! I think I’ll have to wait until someone/radsense produce a simple implementation like websnapr’s.

@Andrew Adding a class attribute to the image DOM Node would be trivial using any JavaScript library. The callback function passed to the get method will be passed a standard DOM Node representing the thumbnail; the client can do what they want with this node. In my example I'm wrapping it with an anchor (link) Node and appending it to the DOM.

This looks fantastic. I’m pretty lame at js, is there any plan for allowing some type of hookup so a class name can be placed near any url’s we choose to have ‘pageglimpsed’ to make it even easier to integrate?

@Marcio Since XDRs in JavaScript are still pretty hairy, I would have to create a server-side proxy to send off the requests to you guys for the exist API call (which appears to be what Adjix.com is doing via a DNS A record) and call my poxy via XHRs (which I would prefer not to do). JSONP is an extension to JSON; basically adding the idea of function callbacks— making it more like JavaScript. The response's Content-Type would also have to be text/javascript since a script node would have it's src attribute making the API call. The contents of the script tag would then be the response body (JSON) as the argument to the callback function specified in the request's query-parameter.
