Trying to develop a Facebook/Tumblr style news feed CMS in asp.net

Question

I like the simplicity of the facebook status/notes/news feed CMS.

Obviously short posts and long notes are not hard but I'm running into difficulty trying to come up with a way to mimic their "Attach a Link" feature.

Does anyone know of a way (or a library) to use asp.net to take/build/create a screen capture of a remote site?

I've tried many different search terms on Google and I'm afraid I'm just not asking the magic word.

Thanks for your help. -Birk

Answer 1

You might want to try this link or this link. ASP is not particularly my strong point, but these seem to do the trick, or at least might help al lot along the lines of what components to use.
