Last week Google announced Google Instant, a new feature that allows users to access, in real time, the search results without having to click on the Search button.
It didn’t took much time for Feross Aboukhadijeh, a computer science student at Stanford, to discover that this feature would be better appreciated if applied to YouTube.
Feross believed that YouTube Instant will be very easy to do and he made a bet with his roommate that he can do it in less than one hour. Unfortunately, he was wrong. He needed three hours to finish the site and a bit more to also finish the graphical interface.
Aboukhadijeh said that he encountered some problems but he easily fixed them ” I have built YouTube Instant using a combination between the YouTube API and YouTube’s search suggestions. In the first phase I have had some problems with Google automatically blocked my server because of the large number of requests to the component that makes the search suggestions generation.
Anyhow, it took me five minutes to rewrite the site so that it will directly interrogate YouTube for the search suggestions. Now everything happens in the browser of each visitors and it’s faster than ever! Thanks to Jake Becker who reminded me that tags have no domain restriction! ”
Despite the fact that he needed a little bit more time than he anticipated, the project was a bit hit and the news about this spread very fast. Feross said that he published his result on Facebook and Twitter and then he went to bed.
The next day he received a lot of congratulations messages, interview requests from major publications including Washington Post and he even received a job offer from Chad Hurley, the CEO of YouTube.
