The wonderful world of site images....

["Jeff Barr" <jeff@vertexdev.com>]

I've been fooling around with the site images collected from the 
various RSS feeds at Syndic8 and started to composite them into
some larger pictures:

Click anywhere to see a larger panel.

The results are quite interesting:

1. 88x31 is a nice recommendation, but there's a lot of images that
   don't fit.

2. A lot of sites don't bother with images yet (I don't have the stats
    for this at hand, but trust me on this).

3. This is going to be a terrific way to navigate through "feedspace";
    stay tuned for the next obvious step in this direction.

4. Too many sites use default images.

If a large number of feeds reference the same image URL (e.g.
Moreover or NewsIsFree) then a single image is rendered.

This is just for fun and for feasability testing, but I thought it was
kind of cool and wanted to share it.
