Cool tool! Though it seems to not like any additional parameters before the “v” param in the querystring.

For example, this link doesn’t bring up any results in Chrome:

but this one does:

Huh? I tried submitting (1) and all it gave me was something I can’t link here apparently because it contains an internal “http”.
and all it gave me was the “maxresdefault” dummy image (that I also can;t link here) returned by the BoingBoing app. BoingBoing also gave me real images ending in “0″, “1″, “2″, “3″, “hqdefault.”, and “mqdefault”.

WHY CAN’T I LINK ANY OF THE BoingBoing results here without the blog software saying it failed to upload an image?

did you just make a Jake and the Neverland Pirates reference?

I see what you did there.
