We Need Your Help

At Lijit, we are constantly developing and testing new features for the product, the search results and the re-search box.
Recently, we have begun to explore the concept of including Flickr thumbnails within the search results themselves. Pretty cool idea, right?
What we cant come to a final decision on is exactly where the thumbnails should be placed. So, we are asking our users for feedback.
Here are the choices:
Here are the thumbnails on the LEFT (click the picture to expand):
Here are the thumbnails on the RIGHT (click the picture to expand):
And, here is a quick poll to help us figure this out. The cool thing about this quiz, is you can cut and paste it onto your blog, and share it with your friends. Check it out and thanks for the help!

I liked the right better but if you go with the left, make sure there is some room between the pic and the text cause right now it looks very cluttered.

I voted for left side. It’s the standard (Google, etc.) Thumbnails to the right is too hard to scan quickly.

Seems like standards would dictate on the left, and in a photo the important content is the picture itself. So in a culture that reads left to right I think pic on the left is better.

Put them on the left. That’s where the eye goes in LTR languages, which is most of them. Also, placing on the right leads the eye away from the content.

I think that going against the google standard of SERPs layout is a dangerous though admirable goal. I voted left.

Why not center-aligned?
Left. Though, align the titles together and leave the thumbnail-less links indented with white space. Also, a expand/contract all thumbnails button would be slick.
