+link_thumbnail
+==============
+
+Helps you find thumbnail images for a given link, useful for adding context to
+a shared URL. Lets you easily implement the "pick a thumbnail" functionality
+from sharing a link on Facebook or Digg.
+
+The approach to discovering an image is multi-tiered, in this order:
+* OpenGraph
+* oEmbed
+  - thumbnail_url
+  - "photo" type url
+* microformats:
+  - basically <img> with "photo" class
+* semantic
+  - leverages Readability
+
+
+Usage / Quickstart
+==================
+In console:
+
+    gem install link_thumbnail
+
+In irb:
+
+    require 'link_thumbnail'
+    LinkThumbnail.thumbnail_url("http://example.com/a-post/") # => "http://example.com/images/relevant-image.jpg"
