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 Winer
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). - Paul Buchheit
