Google Wants to Kill the JPEG: Meet WebP
Chris Mackler, Photographer
Cape Girardeau | MO | United States | Posted: 5:11 PM on 09.30.10
->> "Google is introducing a new format for images: WebP.

Images on the web in this format — which CNET reports will be officially announced later today — will have smaller file sizes, load faster and relieve a lot of overclocked networks. They won’t necessarily look better — WebP images are as “lossy” as JPEGs — but the files might be around 40% smaller than JPEG files."

->> The above should read 'WebP images are as "glossy" as JPEGs'

Looks like it could be pretty nice... Especially since it doesn't have the blocky artifaction that JPEG gets...
