I seem to remember recently that Google announced a new image format that offered significant (40+%) reductions in image sizes – part of an effort to make the web more efficient.
I’m an avid podcast listener – I currently have over 6 GB of podcasts sitting in my iTunes library. These podcasts simply take too long to download – they’re typically in the 20-40 MB range in size.
Why?
Aren’t there solutions available that would dramatically reduce these file sizes?
Why aren’t we making progress in this area? What am I missing?
