    Really like your plugin so far, it get’s the job done. Except for one thing I’d change:
    The YouTube thumbnails (unlike vimeo thumbnails) are really low quality because the plugin is fetching the default.jpg of a video url and not a higher quality option like hqdefault.jpg.

    So I’ve modified line 156 in facebook-and-digg-thumbnail-generator.php:

    if ($yt_id) {
    	$image = "http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/$yt_id/hqdefault.jpg";
    	$meta_imgs[] = $image;
    }

    Other available options would be: mqdefault, sddefault or maxresdefault.

    It would be a great addition to the plugin if this would find its way into the options! But I wanted to share this anyways.

    Thank you wirefront.

    Yes, I really wanted to add those feature in to the plugin.
    Been meaning to make some updates as it’s been a while since I last gave some love/time to this app 🙂

    Hope I can get some time in the next coming days.

    Cheers!
