ShrinkTheWeb.com Partners with Technorati to Provide Website Previews
URL: http://www.shrinktheweb.com

Technorati.com (http://www.technorati.com), named the 5th largest
social media property by comScore, has chosen to partner with
ShrinkTheWeb (http://www.shrinktheweb.com) for the launch of their new
website design. ShrinkTheWeb's powerful platform allows large media
sites, like Technorati, to enhance their user experience by displaying
previews of the sites they feature. This type of visual cue encourages
visitor interaction by creating a sense of trust and familiarity with
the websites being referenced. Technorati was one of the early
adopters of website screenshot technology, first integrating Alexa's
Site Thumbnail service early on and then moving to Snap.com's
SnapShots in July of 2007.

Since using previews proved beneficial, Technorati began a search for
a more robust service that could provide guaranteed response times at
high volumes. ShrinkTheWeb's reputation in the website preview niche
speaks for itself as the company has been gaining significant
popularity among webmasters and application developers. With this most
recent partnership, Technorati also recognizes ShrinkTheWeb's PagePix
service as a valuable component for their audience's enjoyment.

Tweet.Me.It (http://tweet.me.it), an innovative URL shortener service
catering to Twitter users, recently finalized a partnership with
ShrinkTheWeb as well. Tweet.Me.It has implemented website previews in
their analytics section where their users get at-a-glance reporting of
daily/weekly click-through rates and other useful statistics. The
service is free and there are many new features currently in
development, according to Ashley Ford, Tweet.Me.It CEO.

As more and more web developers transition from static text links to
dynamically updated website previews, what was once just an accessory
is now becoming a staple. While website preview technology is
becoming more prevalent, ShrinkTheWeb is interested in developing
strategic partnerships that will facilitate the growth and awareness
of this industry.
