matteoagosti

If you are interested into the technology behind it, I wrote a quick post explaining also the motivations that moved us towards its creation: http://www.matteoagosti.com/blog/2012/11/16/the-rationale-be...

This is an example of running contest that has been created during the node.js conference in Brescia (Italy) http://www.andthewinner.is/nodejsconfit

These are examples of closed contests http://www.andthewinner.is/nodejsconfithack http://www.andthewinner.is/musicidol

The last one was amazing, we ran it by monitoring only mentions (as there was no official hashtag), and in 2 hours of execution we managed to get almost 31k votes :P It was pretty insane to follow it eheh

We are looking forward to testing it out on other events, with higher voting rates. We tested monitoring mentions of popular twitter accounts and results were absolutely impressive. So if you have any good examples feel free to drop us an email [email protected]

Conferences and lectures are great playgrounds
