WebshotsPro (beta) have launched a new online tool to create and search web-page screenshots. (web-PAGE! not web-SITE like Alexa or other thumbshot tools.)
This screenshot was created using WebshotsPro.
WebshotsPro generates a 400x300 screenshot and a 100x75 thumbshot with it's URL to copy past by default. But the size of the screenshot is defined in the image URL and can be set to nearly any size. See 800x600 example.
To make things easy there's a bookmarklet.
Signing in as beta tester gives access to priority, the possibility to submit a list of URLs and get email notification.
Specially interesting for mac website developers: WebshotsPro screenshot generators captures using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and so could also be used as a preview tool like IEcapture. [See WebshotsPro's FAQ]
Update 12/10/06: WebshotsPro have changed the image URL system, so all our old thumbshots don't show anymore. (That's also why I had to update this post.)
It now lets you choose from : 100x75 267x200 400x300 640x480 800x600.
Usually websites services allowing hot-linking (direct linking) ask, in exchange of their free service, to mention or show there logo somewhere and webshotPro doesn't. So it feels as if hot-linking is not encouraged... Hence I would advise that if you do hotlink, to mention WebshotsPro somewhere.
(To get the image URL: right-click -> 'view image','view image URL' or 'copy image URL', depending browsers and copy the URL from the address bar.)
