Talk:Thumbshot

message: Guys, I understand your spam policy!
FYI, Girafa.com is the leader provider and developer of the thumbnails/thumbshots technology. Girafa was the first to provide such service and its technology is patented.
I am not trying to spam, but just to show the truth and the reality! Thanks.
:It doesn't matter; Wikipedia doesn't provide commercial links unless there is good reason to.  Quite honestly, I don't think any of the links should be in this article, but definitely not the link to Girafa. Peyna 16:02, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ha, I was in the middle of writing a rather different response. Anonymous user, thanks for your note. It does set you apart from the large group of spammers. And it gives us a chance to find a mutually satisfying solution. Can you provide any sources for the claim that Girafa was first? Their website says the company was founded in 1999, but doesn't say when they started providing thumbshots. I did find a guy who says he was using Girafa thumbshots in 1999: . I tried searching for info about thumbshots.org from 1999 but.... it's difficult to search for them because so many pages that have thumbshots include a credit to that site. In any case, I don't think we need to link to ICQ. FreplySpang (talk) 16:14, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted to a slightly older more neutral version, especially since it is unlikely we will be able to conclude who first used them and in what way and until it is verifiable it shouldn't be included. (I accidently marked the edit as minor). Peyna 16:40, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The Open Directory Project doesn't actually use thumbshots. thumbshots.net (part of thumbshots.org) uses data from the ODP to present their version of the directory. I'm not sure how to incorporate that into the article, however. You can call me Al 20:42, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Who is "they"? I am not affiliated with Thumbshots. I'm not trying to drive traffic to thumbshots.net. Stop editing other people's comments on Talk pages. I've removed the links from my comments, though I think it makes it wholely inconvenient for others who wish to see for themselves. Now knock it off! --Wrathchild (talk) 16:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  dmoz and Thumbshots 

message: How is "thumbshot" different from "thumbnail"? Does it have to do witht eh navigational element? They're both used for navigation via preview. 198.49.180.40 00:59, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A thumbshot is simply a thumbnail of a screenshot, usually of a website. They're not really different, but I think most people think of a thumbnail as being a smaller version of an image file. A website isn't an image file, unless you take a screen shot. Thus the different name. Others may have differing points of view, but that's how I see it. —Wrathchild (talk) 01:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
