As Seen On..
This week CubeCheater has gotten a storm of publicity, ever since one of the videos was featured on YouTube. I'm getting so many comments and emails that it's been hard to keep up with it all.
So far the two YouTube videos have been viewed a combined 90,000 times. A Google search for "+cubecheater" now returns 2.3 million results, where it returned zero little more than a month ago (the vast majority of those are spam sites & splogs, of course).
Once everything settles down I'll write up a full post with all the relevant traffic charts and link graphs (yay, data!). In the meantime here's a preview of the good bits:
CubeCheater - As Seen On:
- Gizmodo: "iPhone Rubik's Cube Solver Is Pure Genius"
- Wired: "iPhone App Solves Rubik's Cube in 20 Moves or Better"
- TUAW: "CubeCheater solves that Rubik's Cube for you"
- MAKE: "iPhone app will help you deconstruct the Rubix cube"
- Cult of Mac: "Your iPhone is Better than You at Solving a Rubik’s Cube"

WOW! Impressive! So, are the millions in proceeds making it possible for you to quit your day job?!

Well, not yet :). It’s nowhere near millions, and I’m only charging 99 cents for it. Maybe I should be charging more.. hmm

Even if not in the millions (yet), this is so cool! Anything you make on it you can sock away for something really cool, like another trip, or for something you normally wouldn’t do for yourself. Either way, bonus! That has to feel great!
