I plan to give this service a try on my BJII when it comes out in September. - Alan Le

omg... Why? - Mona N.

@Mona it's not Phtoshop like editing photos or adding filters, it's more of a storage/easy uploading and sharing tool. It hooks into your Photoshop.com account so you can go touch things up in more detail later. - Ryan Stewart

I was really skeptical at first, but it's actually kind of cool. - Ryan Stewart

Ah! That's what I get for not reading the article. Thank you, Ryan :) - Mona N.

“Market Samurai Update”

August 21 at 12:11 am - Link

Jonathan Jenkins and Linda liked this

"===New Features: Regional Organic and Adwords Traffic Data=== In addition to improving the way Market Samurai gathers keyword synonym and traffic data, there's something new in Market Samurai v0.60 Market Samurai now gathers country-specific organic and adwords traffic data for your keywords. To find out the traffic levels for your keywords Internationally, or within a single specific country, create a new project and change your regional settings in the settings area of Market Samurai." - Andy Roberts

This is good news but I don't know what you have to do to get the UK search competition analysis. I've updated MS, trashed all my project files, emptied the cache, created new project with region set to UK and I'm still getting totally US based results. Support ticket submitted. - Andy Roberts

A prompt reply from Brent at MS support: "Data from the SEO Competition area will still show you international results. UK-specific SEO results hasn't been implemented yet, only UK-specific keyword data." - Andy Roberts

it's a start. You can always use SEO for FireFox for the page 1 competition. Not as visual perhaps but still a very useful tool. - Linda

Thank you Andy (and Linda) for this helpful info - it saved me going down the same path! A constant issue with all the IM tools and courses is how to adapt to UK/European markets. Perhaps the meetup and some longer-term collaboration would help all of us. - amanda

I'd like to think so Amanda. The London meetup is on 31st August, probably at the Apple Store, Regent Street. This 30DC_for_the_UK friendfeed room will also stay open for organising collaborations afterwards, as an ongoing resource and meeting point for UK 30DCers. - Andy Roberts

Market Samurai, Is going to be a Niche Bot beater, far easier to manage and control. I love the fact that it runs on Adobe Air, plus the updates are as an American would say "Pretty Awesome!" - Steve Williams

I really feel i need to say this: I have several .co.uk domains, Google sees them as UK when I look in the webmaster tools. But I still get well over 70% us visitors, so it's a good idea to cater to them as well in some way at least - after all, they are the biggest market there is. - Frann Leach

You've said this several times already Fran, I wonder why you feel the need to raise it again. Can you see that for some UK specific niches US traffic isn't relevant at all and can actually be detrimental? You get 70% of your traffic from the US so you do need to take that into account but not everyone does. - Linda

Is this an AIR app?! Very cool. - Ryan Stewart

Yes Air seems to be a stable platform, certainly for Mac. Have you tried tweetdeck? - Andy Roberts

Yup, I work for Adobe. It's cool to find AIR applications I hadn't seen before. - Ryan Stewart

I don't like Air, but if you must.... a Ping.fm client would be great. Posty is close, but not covering all of the services. - Anthony K Valley

@Anthony, why don't you like Air? - Lindsay Donaghe

Most of the Air apps that I have seen pretty much bring the web browser functionality to desktop applications. In my earlier days of being a corporate Flash developer when Macromedia was still king, we used the then closed-source ScreenWeaver (http://screenweaver.org ) to bring Flash to the desktop. For applications that rarely retrieve data from the "cloud" AIR is great, but for recreating the web app on the desktop. I recommend a browser. - Anthony K Valley

Wooowwww! I sound dismal... Let me change that - Lindsay, I believe that you can build a powerful, useful AIR application that will be embraced by the FriendFeeders and the world at large. I wholeheartedly encourage you to create an AIR app that breaks the mold, meets a specific community need, brings you notoriety, and personal satisfaction! - Anthony K Valley

Hehe, that's a tall order, Anthony! We'll see what I can do once the inspiration strikes. - Lindsay Donaghe

How about a commenting app? For Disqus, maybe. I don't think there's one out there, but maybe I'm wrong. - joneilortiz

Let me know if you run into any issues with AIR. Are you looking at an HTML/JavaScript app or a Flex app? (ryan@adobe.com). - Ryan Stewart

@Ryan - thanks... I'm looking more at HTML/Javascript, namely jQuery integration. jQuery is my current addiction. I haven't gotten into Flex yet, though I should learn it. - Lindsay Donaghe

I really want a chocolate cookie. - Dani Radu

I wish them luck, but experiences in the past were not so happy. Corel Linux failed extremely fast. - binic

linux it's like apple: all flash, dorkiness and trendiness, but no real support. hardware and software. you can try arguing that it does have alot of shit going on both platforms, but the reality is a different one. One is flash without real substance (and way to pricey for that) and the other you need to be a geek to run Gimp. Yeah, Gimp. Saying things like Adobe should move to Unix and forget about Windows it's total crap. It won't happen, regardless of how much a fanboi you are. - stefan

I respect both those platforms, but people should know real life it's a bit different from their fucked up dreams. - stefan

well, corel fails extremely fast in general. its very techy and printer ready. not so much creativity proned. - Dani Radu

my blood sugar level is low. I really need a cookie. but even so, linux is nothing like apple. and apple is nothing like microsoft. and microsoft is nothing like linux. everything has a dorkiness trendiness non support side. everything has a substance side. it's not healty to judge Adobe on linux. Great. Mac osx on mainframe. Great. All on vmware. Great. I love fucked up dreams. I love also real life.I don't get why all that negative energy. I'll go get my cookie now. On linux. Or windows. Or mac. Or-ever. - Dani Radu

i'm not beeing negativist about it. i'm just tired of guys saying that this is better than that and tell big companies what to do. as if adobe doesn't know its marketing strategy already. i already had my chocolate cookie. - stefan

how about if girls do it ? :) - Dani Radu

I disagree about the "no real support" in linux. It's just that getting support in linux has other ways. By asking the community. Using mailists and forums. And the support is comming pretty fast and accurate. - binic

I know someone who uses gimp. He has no ideea about photoshop. And it's happy with it. The problem with gimp are the photoshop users. You cannot do the things in gimp as in photoshop. Is just a different workflow. - binic

The same with blender. - binic

as i stated before, i respect mac os and all those 1000000 builds of linux. it's not that. every os has pros and cons, what one shouldn't do claim their os of choise is the best one. and support by digging through mail-lists and forums it's not what i call support. even if it's fast and accurate. - stefan

as for adobe and apple (the other side) saying that mac it's the best medium for creativeness i ask one question: why 90% of the screenshot of those adobe software (being product description, tutorials screenshots, etc. etc.) are made under windows? again, i'm not a windows fan, i'm just stating facts. - stefan

Windows comes in numbers. Thats why 90% of all computer related things tend to be under windows. And there is no better support, there is no higher love, there is no santa, we won't grow rainbow wings, and most of us are not gonna be happy even if God itself would code an OS and make miracle compatibility with all other OSs out there. I say - let them port everything everywhere, twice. And a beer, coze it's Friday. Peace - Dani Radu

woohooo! - stefan

I'll stick with the free operating systems thanks. If I've already paid for a computer, why would I want to pay again to be able to use it? - Slippy Lane

Wise man. I absolutely agree, yet my friends dispute may be far from over. Because by choice will or faith, most of us are working with an OS assigned from the office - just like the lawyer. - Dani Radu

all i think is that Adobe just wanna be there for powerful multicore dedicated systems that currently do specific jobs under Linux. The competition between Windows, Mac OS X and Linux is getting more fierce (Vista fluke, Iphone making halo effect on macbooks and Ubuntu steadily improves and now is being offered by Dell as OS of choice). Adobe can not miss the opportunity to just be there when and if the Linux community needs a powerful integrated creative suite. - Mihai Tarmure

Lets not forget that Adobe was and is very paranoid about competition. That being said, they fear about competition even if they don't have one. Based on this business model, they just have to be sure that Linux presence is "check". NAOW please (not another OS war). - Mihai Tarmure

OK ... who started this again???. Hey Ryan ... in this funding marketplace, 50 billion is possible. (Anything is ppossible?!) Ugh ... Remember AOL - Time-Warner :) Honestly, even though I think the rumor was already sqooshed, it might make a pretty good marriage. The more I think about it, the more I'd like to see Yahoo live on it's own. Sorry, no Silverlight here. You need the Flash Player .... - Charlie Anzman

I'm trying it out now and mostly love it. My only gripe is that it crashes a lot for me. - Andy Roth

For years i've accessed my high-res stuff with a simple app from a Portland company, Photo Mechanic by camerabits.com -- and iPhoto for all of my family photos and recent stuff since I haven't done any high-res AP work for a few years. This week I dropped iPhoto for Lightroom 2 and it's working great! 20,000 high-res images and counting, running it on an ancient Mac Mini PPC I had laying around. I noticed that Lightroom 1.4 was a 60MB d/l and Lightroom 2 was 33MB, I like the idea of it getting leaner. - Brian Hendrickson

lightroom is a wonderful tool for digital photogs, especially if you're shooting raw. 2.0 is leaps and bounds better than 1. I hope it progresses from a UI and "coolness" standpoint over the years just like Photoshop has, but quicker. - Don Martelli via twhirl

are there any good articles comparing lightroom and apeture? i'm torn... - Kevin Murray

wow, 300 bucks, hmm .. better than irfan plus photoshop? - Gregory Lent

Haven't used Lightroom. Went with Aperture. Aperture is honestly my favorite application in the world. I enjoy using it more than anything else, ever. So Lightroom would have to kick a whole bunch of ass to beat it out. Then again, maybe it's the fact that I'm (a) organizing and (b) improving my photos that makes me so happy. Maybe as long as the software isn't annoying me, it'd still be my favorite. - Mark Jaquith via twhirl

ive moved my entire worflow to lightroom. i could not be happier. - Carlos Ayala

Lightroom is pretty much all i use these days - works more as photography tool than a graphic artist product like PS - Chris Lynch

Adobe Lightroom Rocks! I'm amazed at how much better it is for workflow now that I've been using 2.0 for the past few weeks. Highly recommended. - Thomas Hawk

I got a good price by buying it with photoshop, otherwise would probably be using aperture. - Brian Hendrickson

For anyone that is torn Lightroom and Aperture have 30 day trails, you should really try before you buy, I did and went with Aperture 2 - Bill Pennington via twhirl

ah, if I had the dough. I'm saving for a beefier PC(to use LIghtroom on) first. - ramil

I am trying it out. Do you put all your photos into the one catelogue or do you split it up? I would prefer the first but heard it gets unstable after 20,000 photos (I am just above this). I could easy split it into years? - CJPhoto

CJPhoto: I have 30,000 photos in my catalog and have no stability problems. Lightroom might get a little slower the larger you catalog grows but I doubt it has much effect on stability. - Ole Begemann

CJPhoto, it depends on how much you have. I've split mine up by year and it seems to be working fine so far. However, I'm not using Lightroom as a DAM yet. I'm sticking with iView for now. That said, does anyone know how to batch edit IPTC Country Code ISO on a bunch of pictures? Selecting a range and editing the field does not seem to work. :( - Jauder Ho
