Google Video Top 100 May 3, 2006 Today I discovered the Google Video Top 100. There's lots of interesting and funny stuff. My favorite from today has to be the dalmation riding a bike. Now that's priceless!

Performance of Google Video
May 3, 2006

The thing that amazes me most about Google, other than their search results, is the speed at which things load. The web is notorious for being slow, but virtually every Google service out there is speedy. One of the better examples of this is Google Video. Most sites that offer video provide an experiece like this: You see a link for video, so you click it... it takes the next page a few seconds to load, and then the video player starts up and displays a "Buffering..." message that lasts a while, a finally, the video starts. (Only to start rebuffering soon thereafter) But Google Video defies the odds. Click a video and bam, it's playing instantaeously, not dropping a frame, and not rebuffering. Amazing.
