Jpeg Alternative For Faster Web

Google is now offering a way to send pictures much fast than in Jpeg format. They have been working on a new format so that they can be stored much easier and there new format is called WebP. WebP is supposed to cut back on the file size by 40% which if you are talking about five hundred gigabytes of pictures could be very helpful. It does however slightly alter the image making it slightly dimmer than the original picture. It will be very helpful though to companies and web sights that have many pictures on them because it will allow there pages to uploaded much faster if there pictures are in the smaller format. I think that this is great for the internet because i hate long download times when surfing the web.
