What Pandora Pays Top Artists
Pandora:  Is there a reason the image on this blog post is so large?  This one image, resized in the browser to 300x200, is consuming 2+ MB.<p>Namely, this one:<p><pre><code>    <img alt="tim-map.jpg" src="http://blog.pandora.com/pandora/tim-map.jpg" width="300" height="200" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" />
</code></pre>
I've been noticing the resurgence of browser-based resizing of large images on a few different business blogs/formats, recently.  In this case (and some others), the resize is to much less than 1/4 the original, so I'm thinking it's not a "Retina" thing.<p>Maybe it's just convenience for the company/blogger, not bothering to resize.  But then, every access is a 2+ MB hit -- which is how I noticed it -- both for you, and for the viewer, which may particularly impact mobile viewers and others on limited bandwidth connections.
