Google To Promote Web Speed On New Dev Site
CWmike writes "Google has created a Web site for developers that is focused exclusively on making Web applications, sites and browsers faster. The site will allow developers to submit ideas, suggestions and questions via a discussion forum and by using Google's Moderator tool. Google hopes developers will join it in improving core online technologies such as HTML and TCP/IP. For Google, a prime example of how Web performance can be enhanced is the development of HTML 5, which provides a major improvement in how Web applications process Javascript, Google believes. 'We're hoping the community will spend some time on the basic protocols of the Internet,' Google product manager Richard Rabbat said. 'There's quite a bit of optimization that can be done [in that area].'"
When did the White House press corps switch from priding themselves on their freedom and ability to hammer the president with tough, often inconvenient, and equally often inane questions, to racing each other to see who can verbally fellate the president the best? Oh, that's right. When the messiah was chosen.
