BiGuide UK is now generating thumbnails of Websites with the free Shrink The Web tool. It’s a fantastic tool and they make it available to Webmasters at no cost! What’s to not like?

Below is an example of the largest of their available 6 image sizes.

In the course of building the popular BigGuide.net internet directory I was surprised at how many of the better quality websites were UK websites out of the 16,000+ I’ve reviewed. Indeed such a large percentage of the sites approved for BigGuide were UK sites so I decided to launch a standalone UK version of BigGuide to be in a position to offer the UK internet community a better internet resource then BigGuide.net could offer on it’s own.

Coincidentally the UK domain for BigGuide UK was available for sale so I bought it at auction on Sedo.

There’s a bit of work to be done to clear out non-UK clutter and some category restructuring to do, but when complete I hope to have added a new useful internet resource free for UK netizens to use.

I’m open to advice, suggestions (including suggested websites), and feedback so don’t hesitate to send an email or comment here.

Cheers!
