A recent story I wrote for seed has, for some reason, blown up.
It’s a story on Sudoku: A scientists working on a algorithm for microscopy accidentally found a universal solution to sudoku puzzles.
I submitted the story to Digg.com, not thinking too much of it. Especially because others had already put the same story up a few days earlier. As fate would have it, the story took and was on the front page of digg (the new slashdot) for a little bit.
At first I felt slightly awkward since I was the person who submitted it. But that’s the beauty of digg. The story won’t take off if other people don’t find it relevant. With almost 2,000 diggs right now I guess the story stands on its own (and also had the good fortune of timing).
Anyways, I’m glad I was able to send a lot of hits towards seed’s website and write a good story at the same time.
As for now: Get ready for spring break (woooo!)
Sudoku is the new crossword! Digg is the new Slashdot! New York Dave is the new Dave!
Good job.
