I see images for a few seconds and then the images disappear and I just see moving black squares in place of imagery like it caches only a set amount and doesn't fetch any more unless you reload the page again. Cool, but pretty pointless.
The speed at which the crawling is taking place, the tile source (the site being crawled) changes before my internet connection can even download the tile. So after a few seconds, all I see are black blinking tiles
Pretty cool. It's funny how many thumbnails include the parked domain girl (with backpack).<p><a href="http://www.urlesque.com/2010/11/03/parked-domain-girl/" rel="nofollow">http://www.urlesque.com/2010/11/03/parked-domain-girl/</a>
Either there is a security loophole and you can force it to crawl sites or wayback has an open thumbnail service.<p><a href="http://crawl432.us.archive.org/crawling/domain/thumb.py/news.ycombinator.com" rel="nofollow">http://crawl432.us.archive.org/crawling/domain/thumb.py/news...</a><p><a href="http://crawl432.us.archive.org/crawling/domain/thumb.py/www.google.com" rel="nofollow">http://crawl432.us.archive.org/crawling/domain/thumb.py/www....</a><p>Judging by the delay, basically changing the end url forces it to crawl and then the thumbnail is cached and served.<p>They might want to fix that.
Somewhat NSFW?<p>As at work not going to visit, but it does now strike me that archive.org probably has probably accumulated the world's largest porn collection.
