I read an interesting article today. It seems that Google is working on a way to make web pages load faster. It is not a new way of making websites but rather a now way of relaying the data.

They are developing a new protocol they are calling SPDY. (pronounced speedy) For those of you who are not techies web pages are currently served using the HTTP protocol. That is why you always see sites as http://domain.com. Well Google has been experimenting with their new technology and have been using it to load some popular sites. On average they are seeing sites that load an average of 50% faster.

It sounds promising and Google is even reaching out to the open source community to aid in the development of this new technology.
