Did anyone have any problems with this yesterday? I tried several sites and all I got was the 'In queue' notice. Never did show a thumbnail.

The site http://bluga.net/webthumb/ that one of you guys listed previously is nearly instant (around 5-7 seconds). What types of methods do you guys think could bring about this screenshot automatically?
