not sure I can follow you. Why is a 100px thumbnail more
annoying than a 350px thumbnail if the full-size picture is >800px
anyway?
Well, mostly because in the 100px thumbnail you can't actually *see*
anything. =]
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "anything". Certainly you
can see whether the picture depicts a person, a building, a bridge, or
whatever. Together with the thumbnail caption, it should give you an
idea of what it is (e.g. "Alan Turing", "Golden Gate Bridge",
"UN
Headquarters", etc.). So if you're interested in it, you click it to
see the big picture.
Yeah, I hadn't really thought of that. That serves a different function
then. In the 350px case it serves the function of an accompanying image
illustrating the article, which you could optionally click on to get a
much higher-quality image if you desired, but in most cases don't need
to unless you have a particular interest in that picture's contents. In
the 100px case you pretty much have to click on it if you really want to
see it.
