Somone mentioned the visual search engine searchshots.com on here
couple weeks back -- does anyone know how they snapshot other sites'
homepages? Windows Explorer does something similar when you hilight an html
file-- I'd like to to take a crack at implementing that kind of
functionality on a project of mine but can't figure out how a program
could render a page for snapshotting without displaying it.
