We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Last week I wrote a post on the Fast Web Race, following on from that post I was contacted by the event program manager and have been asked to be a judge. I was looking forward to this contest before now I'm even more excited about it. I'm joining an elite team of judges and experts in the field of application acceleration and web performance. The judges include:
Ben Rushlo from Keynote Systems
Steve Souders from Google and the creator of the YSlow plug-in for Firefox
With this panel of judges I am sure I'll be able to learn from them as well.
Entrants are being accepted until the end of the month and all details on how to enter can be found at the Fast Web Race website. Having spent the last few years working in Europe I hope there will be at least a few European entries.
