Hi Arun Thanks man. This is also interesting.
However, I dont really want to download the web and autolink the image ( as how it is in facebook - though I think now that I know i would want to try it out also). What I want to achieve is that if there is an image which a person has hosted on google+/flickr/etc , just pasting that url in his post will show the thumbnail of that image. So, lets say he has an album on google+, and he is referencing 2 or 3 images he can then just paste their links, and they show up as images. V.
