Thumbshots robot re-visiting millions of web sites
September 10, 2001
It takes muscles to cover the Internet. The latest release of Thumbshots robot has added sophistication to discard any unviewed portions of the page resulting in faster thumbnailing and reduced downloading. JavaScript refresh is also handled properly so redirections are never missed. With the added improvement, Smartdevil can capture millions of web pages a day.
Web pages are usually long and wide unlike printed documents. It is
necessary to trim away any non-viewable images, text and objects. The result is
less download and faster rendering.
The new Thumbshots robot has built-in intelligence to detect any
non-viewable objects within the page. No perceivable information is lost from
this optimization making it very attractive and viable.
The software is can easily be scaled to capture 1 to 50 million web pages a day.
