26New Web Screenshot Showcase - 32,000 Images and Growing

The distributed screen capturing website BrowserShots.org recently released an online showcase of more than 32,000 image captures of website pages.  It looks like the content comes from sites their visitors have requested to have pictures taken of. 


You can browse sites, rate them, and search for text within the sites.  It's not clear if the text searches indexed terms or a version of the site source code.  For random design inspiration, this is a great site.  Another search option is to look for sites of a particular color.  For instance, here's a view of sites matching the hex color 003366.

It's especially nice because it includes many non-English sites, so you can just isolate design and feel without reading text. 

As an aside, if you need to get lots of screenshots for websites, it is very much worth it to pay for priority processing.  We needed to collect lots of images in a short period, and with priority processing, images were returned in one or two minutes.
