This is madness! Loading the whole page just to show an thumbnail? Don't do this ever. Better use the free http://web-capture.net/ or http://pagepeeker.com/

Or just use what chrome itself uses:

That returns a blank image for many of the URLs I tried. Is it queueing up for rendering, or is it not rendering unpopular sites?
