Reblogged from Barry on WordPress:
Yesterday, Valentin Bartenev, a developer at Nginx, Inc., announced SPDY support for the Nginx web server. SPDY is a next-generation networking protocol developed by Google and focused on making the web faster. More information on SPDY can be found on Wikipedia.
At Automattic, we have used Nginx since 2008. Since then, it has made its way into almost every piece of our web infrastructure.
