If the developers can resize the images, then focus on the content verses the navigation, it would be better.<br /><br />I wonder how website's bandwidth is affected by these thumbnails. Are they realtime or cached?

(The idea of thumbnails is obvious, and I would be surprised if Findforward was the first.) Even Google tried them a long time ago, if I remember correctly (IIRC there was a quote by Sergey Brin saying that), but apparently Google decided against it back then. Can anyone dig up that Brin quote?Philipp Lenssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340991515644165702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-20052264714237880262009-11-03T03:00:02.890-08:002009-11-03T03:00:02.890-08:00It's not important who was the first who came ...It's not important who was the first who came up with this idea.
