Hydra: This is the name of an internal project carried out within
YouTube to
speed up video loading times, and in the process, lower both
user frustrations
and operating cost. Google Cloud is the key. It was reported
by The Wall Street
Journal that the company used its parent s cloud computing infrastructure
to split
video processing between hundreds of thousands of machines allowing them
to process video seven times faster than in 2008 (and even four
times faster than
just six months ago).

Video Streaming: YouTube is going into a new territory of streaming
live video
through a new channel called YouTube Live which intends to attract
more
original content to the site and give users another reason to
stay on longer. They
are preparing a hundred or so professionally produced new channels
that the site
is going to premier over the next six months-a sort of YouTV
which is part of a
larger strategy, designed by YouTube s Robert Kyncl and Salar
Kamangar.
According to Forrester Research, by 2016 half of all households
will have Wi-Fi-
enabled devices on their televisions, which will bring all those
new channels into
the living room, tempting people to cancel their pricey cable
subscriptions. The
only way for the networks and the cable companies to grow will
be to buy Web-
based channels.
