When you press the google +1 button on a site it grabs the typical meta data such as title and description. I thought it might be looking for the first image in the first article tag, but I tried changing the image and the thumbnail did not change. Does anyone know how the thumbnail is generated? Can it be added as meta info (similar to facebook likes)? Can it be linted?

The thumbnail i'm talking about:
