Text, images, sounds, videos, rinse, lather, repeat.

It’s been a hell of a ride in the computing world since installing Windows 3.11 from 38 diskettes to actually being able to watch YouTube on the go with our mobiles. We take a lot of things from our modern living for granted, and one of them is internet bandwidth. We don’t notice it was there until it’s gone (much like toilet paper).

So please Transient Spaces readers, why won’t you please think of the children?! Now seriously, a tip here :P. You as a website’s big cheese have a monthly transfer limit, and so do a lot of your site viewers too. So try to optimize your images to 72 dpi and limit the size and length of your videos if you are hosting them on your own site space.

Even better is uploading them to YouTube and sites alike and embedding them to your site so it uses THEIR bandwidth :D. Cons to that practice though. Remember that you get something like “related videos”? Given your keywords, it might attract not so appropriate for your viewers related vids. You and your viewers might not like Latin American idol reject audition tapes, eh?

So help save Bandwidth the Bunny every month ok?

My freehand rendition of the abstract concept of running out of bandwidth.
