So you're in a session at AjaxWorld and it's not rocking your world! Want to know where the real rockstars are talking? Want to know what sessions are going off? Then tune into
Rocks Or Not and rate sessions in real time and see what others think of the other session live.
Webtide has implemented Rocks Or Not to demonstrate the Comet (Ajax push) capabilities of Jetty, Dojo and DWR. The application gives a live 1 to 5 star rating of the sessions, speaker awards (Rockstar, Vulcan, Uber Geek or Droid) and per session chat rooms.
If you are attending AjaxWorld this week, or simply want to tune in to what's happening, then visit http://www.webtide.com/sessionRater

unfortunately due to lack of publicity we didn't reach critical mass on the rocksOrNot application and I while we had plenty of visitors, I don't think many of them were actually in the sessions. So I would not believe any of the ratings that were entered.
I think for our next show, I think we will prepare some more publicity before hand, give some prizes as incentives to rate speakers and come up with a mechanism so that only people actually in the room can give ratings. We'd also put a better history mechanism in place.
cheers
