[Seaside] Seaside vs Streaming

[Conrad Taylor]

Hi Martin, I feel the same about this issue.  Thus, I was wondering, if I
was building an application like YouTube.com is Seaside, what approach one
would use?  YouTube.com is a extreme example due to the amount of traffic,
uploads, and downloads.  Hence, I would like to understand it's architecture
for streaming here in a small and simple that can easily scale by adding
more VM or other techniques and technologies.
