Kaggle is awesome! If you like this challenge, you should browse through other current and past Kaggle challenges at http://www.kaggle.com/competitions

There are a whole lot of fun challenges ranging from predicting if a patient will be admitted to a hospital, what will be the trading price of a bond, will a student answer a test question correctly, to if a car purchased at an auction is a bad buy!

I agree that Kaggle is awesome... though I've also been wondering how Kaggle gets so much attention and TopCoder seems to get so much less (and TunedIt.org appears totally inactive).

Mainly, I want to know because I suspect there is a good marketing lesson to be learned from Kaggle's success compared to seemingly similar sites.

Wow, this is the problem I was looking to solve in my own music application. I am so going to try and win this. Thanks for the link.
