Google Transcoder's Zooming Feature

If you're annoying to load a web page using your mobile phone's browser, but the Internet connection is slow and you can't install Opera Mini, there's forever Google Transcoder. Google's service shows a cut downward version of the page that hides navigation links, removes scripts and compresses images.

Google Transcoder also has a "zoom out" characteristic that shows a screenshot of the page and lets you select the part you want to read. This means that Google has at least two databases of screenshots for all the indexed pages and Google knows a lot of about the arrangement of a web page.
