Facebook began implementing SPDY protocol
The company Facebook has published an official review in connection with the collection of opinions about the HTTP / 2.0 standard and the SPDY protocol as a potential basis for the future standard. Such a survey is now conducted among all interested parties by the IETF HTTPbis working group.
Representatives of one of the largest sites expressed a strong desire to participate in the development of HTTP / 2.0 and said that at the moment they have "started SPDY / v2 implementation, due to the fact that it is supported by browsers and promises to bring direct benefits after implementation." Although at the moment SPDY has not yet begun to be used on real servers in production, but “the system is almost complete” and its large-scale implementation is planned soon.
Facebook also expresses its wishes for HTTP / 2.0, in which to increase the speed of Facebook and improve security, I would like to see the following features: request multiplexing, transport layer encryption (TLS), HTTP / 2.0 upgrade without using HTTP / 1.1 Upgrade headers (TLS NPN), flow control at the request level, push on the server side to replace long polling and the inclusion of the “no buffering" flag at any level.
Facebook offers an opinion on each of the three proposals, which are now considered as the basis for HTTP / 2.0 - these are SPDY, HTTP Speed + Mobility (from Microsoft) and the evolutionary option Network-Friendly HTTP Upgrade. As mentioned above, the company has made a choice in favor of the first one, has already begun to implement it and recommends SPDY as the basis for developing the HTTP / 2.0 standard. Moreover, it is the most common protocol of all the candidates, it is already supported by the Firefox 13 and Chrome browsers. The only thing that Facebook would like to see in SPDY is some more lightweight solution for compressing headers instead of gzip.

Thus, after the introduction of SPDY, this protocol will speed up the loading of web pages on the two largest Internet sites: Google and Facebook. Previously, SPDY support was also announced by Twitter.
