The images of websites on Googility.com are created using a free service provided by Shrink The Web. I had created a simple piece of software to simplify using STW in the Django software that runs the website.
The kind folks at STW asked me to update my software to make their PRO features available. Those features include custom sized images and, most importantly for some Googility web sites, creating images for web sites that are part of another web site.
For example, agility trainer Theresa Rector's site is hosted on mac.com and her website used to look like this on Googility:
Now you can see her actual home page:
I've also increased the size of the images so users of the site can better see the website. STW is now updating the images monthly so changes to web sites will be visible sooner.
If you are a Django developer the django-stw application is available for download. If you are a Googility visitor I hope you like the improved web site snapshots.
