Why express compatibility in terms of products. There's a consensus on how to do thumbnails, why not just support the consensus? Here's the result of the investigation I did back in January. http://www.scripting.com/stories... and an example page. http://discuss.flickrfan.org/2009... Seems to me if I link to that page in FF, you should show the thumb. Why not??
- Dave Winer
I went ahead and tested it and as before it does not recognize the thumb. http://friendfeed.com/e... The reason you should do this is that you encourage entrepreneurship on FF as a platform. If I can deliver a beautiful feature for your product without you having to do *anything* that gives us a chance to become big through FF. If you only work with people who are already big, you make sure innovation happens elsewhere first

Dave, the bookmarklet will automatically pick up those thumbs (and you can remove them by clicking on them). Automatically pulling them in anytime a link is shared is an interesting idea, but we have to be a little careful about user intention. In the case of twitpic, they obviously wanted to share the image, but if I just post a random link via twitter, it's not clear that I also want to share whatever image it is that the author of that page set as the thumbnail (which could be anything).
