How fast can you find and watch Youtube Videos?
Youtube Instant is the creation of Feross Aboukhadijeh, a computer science student at Stanford University, who bet with his roommate (after the launch of Google Instant) and built a real-time YouTube search in 3 hours!"It started out as a bet with my roommate, Jake Becker. I bet him I could build real-time YouTube search in less than an hour. Sadly, I lost the bet – It took me 3 hours to finish it.
After updating my status, I went to sleep. I awoke Friday morning to an inbox full of people congratulating me on YouTube Instant, sending me links to press coverage, and sharing it by the thousands on Twitter and Facebook. The Washington Post called to do an interview, Venture Beat put my picture on their front page, and Mashable wrote a front page story…twice. YouTube Instant also made it to the All Things Digital front page and the Hacker News home page three times.
YouTube CEO Chad Hurley even asked me if I wanted a job …over Twitter!"
