We judge them by their thumbnails. We also judge videos, e-books, software, and people the same way. Engaging an audience demands engaging them visually, no matter the medium. Some of our peers in the online video community recently <a href="http://mhudack.com/post/963993474/ericmortensen-kateoplis-hayekd">noted that</a> Tumblr allows the display of thumbnails for YouTube embeds on their dashboard, but other popular video sites, such as <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a> and <a href="http://blip.tv/">Blip.tv</a>, are currently left out from showcasing their user videos with a thumbnail image.</p> <p><a href="http://dev.rocketboom.com/">Rocketboom R&D</a>, the development unit of the <a href="http://rocketboom.com/">Rocketboom</a> network, has created a simple solution: a browser add-on that allows Tumblr users to see any video’s known thumbnail in their Tumblr dashboard. There’s no platform favoritism; this enables nearly every other common video platform the ability for thumbnail display. The add-on was created using <a href="http://mag.ma/">Mag.ma</a>, our own video aggregation service, to do thumbnail lookups for numerous video platforms with our simple <a href="http://docs.mag.ma/">API methods</a>. The results? Uniformity for Tumblr users and creative support for content creators.</p> <p>Get your browser add-on for <strong><a href="http://dev.rocketboom.com/projects/tumblr-video-thumbnail-browser-add-ons/firefox">Firefox</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://dev.rocketboom.com/projects/tumblr-video-thumbnail-browser-add-ons/chrome">Chrome</a></strong>, or <strong><a href="http://dev.rocketboom.com/projects/tumblr-video-thumbnail-browser-add-ons/safari">Safari</a></strong>, and visit the <a href="http://dev.rocketboom.com/projects/tumblr-video-thumbnail-browser-add-ons">Tumblr Video Thumbnails add-on page</a> for information, installation help, and more.
