iPhone app uses vision to solve Sudoku puzzles
Take a picture of a puzzle in a newspaper and this iPhone app solves it. - Robert Scoble
That's very cool. I've seen this technology working with Rubik's Cube as well. - Nir Ben Yona
Wow, that's actually pretty impressive. I don't really play sudoku, but it's always nice to have a freshly solved one on the coffee table to give the impression of intelligence! - Steve Farnworth
Thanks Peter! By the way, that was filmed next to the Pitt Building in Cambridge, UK. What's cool about that building? That's where the first academic publishing house was formed (Cambridge University Press). If I remember all the facts right, that is. - Robert Scoble
This is cool. But I still prefer manually.. to test your brain - Jeremy
very impressive, but - at the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man - where's the fun in having your iPhone solve the puzzle for you? - Andrew Terry
Robert: that's Pitt not Penn ;) http://www.cambridge.org/pittbui... - Oleg Podsechin
Andrew: I hate Sudoku games, so for me it's more fun to use technology. Heheh. - Robert Scoble
Oleg: oh, sorry about that. Gotta get sleep. - Robert Scoble
This is brilliant. more than the fact that it can solve the game i think i love seeing how technology is being used - Bhowmik Shah
Hang on a sec - I've just replayed the video.. once you've taken the picture, you are actually able to solve the puzzle yourself on the phone! That is super-cool! - Andrew Terry
Robert: no worries, it was great to have you over here btw. looking forward to the PrismaStar and Broadersheet videos. - Oleg Podsechin
Oleg: both of those videos should be up tomorrow. - Robert Scoble
Cool but I have to agree with Jeremy, manually is better - Cristian
Just installed the app (the video says "Sudoku Magic" but it's "Sudoku Grab" from the looks of it). Absolute best bit of this app is that it's a really good soduku app in its own right. The point-the-camera-to-solve is just an extra side benefit and a great way to source puzzles. No success yet using the camera on the 3G -- I have to manually update some of the numbers. Maybe the 3GS works better? - RickMeasham
@RickMeasham that isn't the one Scoble saw, the Sudoku Grab is a different (less clever) one. The Sudoku Magic one is coming out ASAP. - Peter Clark
here's the sudoku magic link: http://MagicSolver.com - Peter Clark
Here's the link for the Sudoku Magic application itself: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObje... - Oliver Lamming
Thanks Robert, Sudoku Magic, is now available on the App store! http://itunes.apple.com/WebObje... Emmanuel www.magicsolver.com - Emmanuel Carraud
Excellent work - good job guys. - Rahul Vohra

Today... I was spammed by a spammer. He put me on a list that I never signed up for. Then when I clicked on the unsubscribe button... It auto-subscribed me to another list!!! Needless to say, I complained to the website program to which he auto-subscribed me... But I think that was clever...
Unfortunately a lot of spammers will send emails suggesting you signed up for something you didn't then offer an unsubscribe link. The minute you click it you confirm you are a real person that they can spam some more! - Lisa
So I guess the lesson here is to ignore any email newsletters and messages that you didn't sign up for. I heard the spammers can even confirm whether or not the mail was opened using embedded images... they are a real plague - Jorge Blanco
They are using a super bot! - Jeremy from twhirl
Just set up a gmail filter and you can sort out all newsletters easily - TrafficBug
Yes, gmail has the best spam filters I've seen so far on web-mail. - Robert Worstell
I agree and by learning the hard way by using one of my branded email addresses in the beginning. Gmail is the way to go for sites that you are not so sure you want to have a long relationship with them. - Karen Purves
Andy Roberts
Offline Gmail latest email received 19th Feb fail.

haven't started lost yet. It's DVD only on Netflix but I've got it in the Queue. Started watching the office last night. I saw some episodes a few years ago and liked them but wanted to start from the beginning before going back to it. - Thomas Hawk

Kayla and I decided to stick with our current blogs, and use the training to improve them. How are you doing setting up your blogs?
Uh... I had to use the Guitar layout because all the others had huge AdSense ads on them or did not have Sale Offers. - diddledumsticks
I use 30DC training to improve my other niche project - Jeremy
So the sale offer thing is a glitch. If you pick a template that has no sales ad post here, I'll post the solution - Chad
I'm using TDC for a new blog I developed for this year's challenge, and I always apply what I learn to all my blogs. Most of what I have online came out of the 2007 challenge, except the two sites I set up this summer. - Sherri S Joubert

I'm trying to install the latest version of Market Samurai after having uninstalled it. Is anybody else having the same porblem with v0.60? - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
i launched ms and it auto-updated with no problems - Paul King from twhirl
yes i had to uninstall to get the upgrade to load - Rob Wilson from Alert Thingy
no auto update for me - Rob Wilson from Alert Thingy
download the new version. don't update it. MS has email to us. check your email - Jeremy from twhirl
It Just auto updated for me also, sorry! - Mark Gray
I was having issues with MS BUT I removed it and reinstalled from scratch and now it all works perfectly. Their support will send you a new link to reinstall if you (Like me) deleted the first one.... oops. - Stacy Nelson
I got the same message, but the next time I clicked to open Market Samurai, it opened without asking to install and showed "version.60." LOL, as fast as they're coming out with updates, I'd use whatever version opens and wait a few days and they'll have any problems sorted out. - liz

So, have the discussions moved strictly to Twitter?
not really, how about others? Are they still follow 30DC? - Jeremy from twhirl
eMarketing Hubs - nat014
Hi. Behind everyone since I just started the 30DC. Trying to catch up and just wanted to say hi.
Welcome on board, natalie - Jeremy from twhirl
Hi. Keep up the work and motor on, I'm a late starter too, it doesn't really matter if you're late and the content stays up year round anyway. Take your time and do everything that is taught by the master that is Ed and you will do very nicely out of this. - Jamie Starbuck
Ron"micronet"Harwood
What to do - if good niche but NO content out there. - Thirty Day Challenge Forums - http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/forums...
Content Resources -- Big List - Ron"micronet"Harwood from Bookmarklet
how about widening your keyword list just for the content search to give you more to work with? - liz
Go to the library, and find a book type thing? - thefluffanutta
I've come across such problem too... - Jeremy
I just went for another niche - Frann Leach
Mauro Gonçalo
My huboage was flagged. It only contained one link and the rss feed
I think the RSS feed counts as multiple links - try showing fewer items from it. - thefluffanutta
I gave up on Hubpages a while ago...a single link and they were beside themselves...and totally rude about it. - Susan Fuller
I had only 2 items on it ... - Mauro Gonçalo from twhirl
sometimes hubpages flagged for unacceptable reason - Jeremy
if the rss feed and the link point to the same place - that will get you knocked - Ed Dale
Jeremy
Hi Gang, lets share idea here. welshboy, why you scrap your website?

Curtis Miller
Wow is all I can say, I just checked google and for my niche keyword I am number 5 for exact match and 7 for broad!
Great job! - Jeremy from twhirl

Susan Kaul
Okay dumb question. How do you tell if you are ranked in google? Do you google search your keyword or your actual web site or blog? or is there one of those cool formulas like rank: www. yourwebsite.com? Just don't know. thanks for the help.
yes, you can type in your keyword phrase in google and change the number of results to 100 by selecting the "Advanced Search" link to the right side of the google search box and see if your domain is listed in the first 100. - Will Ponder
Susan, if you meant check it's ranking then Will's comment is good. But before you do that check to see if Google has actually indexed your site, otherwise you could be looking for a long, long time. To check if you are indexed go to Google and type site:www.yourdomain.com and obviously substitute yourdomain for your actual url. Hope that helps. Wozza - Ian
There's a firefox plugin from SEO book that works too. http://tools.seobook.com/firefox... is the link. Not had any problems with it in flock, but got to admit I haven't got up to using it much yet, just basic tests. - Crystal Woods
Easy way to see if you have been indexed is to search for your sites url, ie. www.yoursite.com, if nothing comes up then you know just wait a little longer - Deon
type site:www.yourdomain.com - Jeremy from twhirl

that is a great post!! I suppose we are not really trying to teach SEO per se.... But if we were this is what it would look like - Ed Dale
That is another GOLD medal! - Jeremy from twhirl
This is a Great post..where to start to analyze the competition! - Kim Parsley
Absolutely marvelous!!! - Omitade Adediran

Check out the Noble Samurai tutorials addressing the lack of SEO Competition information and the work around.

spent the last hour and half trying to register a domain name for my blog. wordpressdirect tells me they are all taken, yet when i go to yahoo domain name search, I many names available. What gives?
Did you try 'namecheap', or 'nameboy'? - Roy Gould
I'm getting the same - for whatever words I put in. I've just submitted a ticket to WDP. I wanted to run the 30DC method thru once without having to spend any £s - so I really hope this free option in WPD works! - vizo
I am also not finding anything available through WP, but it is 2am...so I need a long break. Maybe something will work in the morning. Michelle - Michelle Hesse
perhaps you can go to godaddy.com go look for alternative domains - Jeremy from twhirl
John, when you select a domain at WordpressDirect you are selecting a subdomain. When you go to Yahoo domain name search you are searching for an actual domain... - Mike Hill from twhirl
FYI - It is working OK now. phew! - vizo
Yippee, It IS working today..glad I slept in. ;-) - Michelle Hesse
Sandra Foyt
According to Ed on the show, it's all easy cruisin' from now on. I hope so. As an SEO newbie, Market Samurai was hard to figure. Of course, now that I've got it, it's pretty easy. So, tomorrow, we're supposed to find out how to start making $$$. Can't wait!
that's great! I am still doing keyword research... will take a lot of time - Jeremy
same here... finding it quite hard to find something good - adam jeremiah from twhirl
be patient. 95% of time will spend on market research, this is just the beginning - Jeremy
yeah i know, but it just seems like everyone has gone off and done their homework, but im struggling:P lol - adam jeremiah from twhirl
It was easier for me because I've been blogging all year, and I know the search terms that brought some readers to my blog (from using FeedBurner. Now, for Kayla and Alex, we just took their current interests in Pokemon and Star Wars and found the synonymous keyword that works for a microniche. We didn't put too much energy into that. Already, they're complaining that they don't want to be locked into those limited topics. That's OK for them since this is a learning process. - Sandra Foyt
that's cool! I am looking forward to building content.. :) - Jeremy
Can't wait, too! - diddledumsticks
Ron"micronet"Harwood

Jeremy
If there anyway to understand the terms used in market samurai? like SEOT, SEOC..

Problems fetching data with Samurai
Anyone else having problems fetching data from google with the samurai tool? or did I get banned. I get insufficient data on all keywords. - David
never mind looks like I found the answer in the knowledge base http://www.noblesamurai.com/support... - David
I have the same problem - Buff Toast
your samurai is tired, let him rest for a while.. should be fine - Jeremy
The work around solution http://twurl.nl/oxdg7h if problem persists. Watch "Overview of Market Samurai v0.53's New Features" - Buff Toast
I have problem fetching the data too but not all the time. Sometimes it works just fine. - Raymond
Try closing MS and open it again, its gonna create a new "session" with google, ( new captcha...). If its not working, just wait a few minutes. - Julien Hardy
