Web page design is becoming more important as each day goes by. StumbleUpon joined the thumbnail team earlier this month with thumbnails of stumblers favorite web sites displayed in their profiles.
It is becoming a trend that I feel will only spread further since many members of social networking sites feel more comfortable seeing images. StumbleUpon provides users with two options, either grid or list.
Your web page may soon become your social brand with thumbnails appearing like foot prints behind either your activities or your social friends. Until now, web pages have been designed for the benefit of visitors and search engines, you may now need to consider the thumbnail appeal of your site. Social sites like StumbleUpon are not shy about the size of your thumbnail either. In past thumbnails were very small, these days they are a reasonable size with good clarity.
If your web page is not up to scratch then perhaps it is time to do some housekeeping. Put on a pretty face for all those thumbnails that are going to continue to appear on sites like StumbleUpon. Your thumbnail is now a part of your social marketing face – capitalize on it.
