Thumbshots Search Previews Are The Next Big Thing 

MONTREAL, QC, June 16, 2004. Thumbshots search previews are the next big thing.

Search engines are quickly adding features to compete against each other. One feature that is gaining momentum is search preview. In a recent ClickZ article, Ask Jeeves is quietly testing out previews or what we like to call as "thumbshots".

Thumbshots.com is the leading provider of web previews for over 300 sites around the world. We work with other major search engines to add value to their service including Idealab and Network Solutions. Our partners are testing thumbshots on sponsored links to increase their click-through rates.

Thumbshots is already used by hundreds of sites including DMOZ (the world's largest web directory), Bruceclay.com (one of the leading SEOs), CNET Search.com and Sympatico.ca (Canada's largest portal).
