Crusoe Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 some interesting business ideas, might be useful at some stage too.First one is a text service called Any Question Answered (AQA), where you send a text to 63336 and the service responds to your message in a few minutes. £1 a reply but apparently you can ask the most bizarre things and yet the right answer.the other one i saw was http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/Just dial 2580 on your mobile, hold it to the source of the music (the call automatically hangs up after 20 secs), and Shazam will text you back with the track and artist. 50p if it identifies the track, no charge if it fails.

hanley Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 been using shazam for over a year now and it works quite well, only ever not recognized 2 tracks.Me and a kid at work tried singing the other day to see if it recognised that but no luck lol. But it is bloody good though cos before the singing incident I had bet him it would work on the most bizzar tracks and I won. CACHING!!!

Gavs_arosa16v Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 My mate loves aqa, I am sure he is keeping them in business. Most of the time it comes up with a good answer.Give it a go if you dont mind spending a quid. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> (I would rather be tight and use google) style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanley Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thing is you can hardly play a song to Google can you?I mean what would you type in, it's purely for songs you don't know the name or artist, or even both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavs_arosa16v Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Sorry I was just talking about aqa, not Shazam.I listen to radio 1 they repeat songs 20 times a day. So I just have to wait for them to replay it. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Shazam is pretty amazing - was chatting to Bossjohnc about it a few weeks back. We'd both been using it since its demo days *years* ago.It recognises some of the most bizarre stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yeah, Shazam's been around for years. Very good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
