This year Comet is more and more popular, and it is reflected at conferences in terms of the number of sessions talking about Comet. This is interesting, as it wasn’t the case last year. Just for fun, here is a unofficial list of conferences where Comet was discussed in 2007, and the number of Comet sessions for each:

1. ApacheCon US (2)
2. JavaOne (2)
3. AjaxWorld/East (2)
4. AjaxWorld/West (2)
5. FISL(1)
6. JavaPolis (1)

That’s for the entire year. For 2008, we’re only in March and already we have:

1. JBossWorld (1)
2. ApacheConf EU (1)
3. JavaOne (6)
4. AjaxWorld/East (6)
5. FISL (3)

The rest of 2008 looks promising…..
