Finally after a draining week, you decided to unwind at the nearby coffee store and as you’re walking through the crowd to your escape. Something suddenly caught you, a pretty smoothing tune coming from the mall, and you started to hum along the tune as it whistles pass through.

After your cup of coffee and you were on your way back home, the tune starts to hit you again but this time it’s stuck in your mind…..and you can’t get your mind off it….man….who’s the artist behind this song you ponder……

Luckily there is Midomi, remember your hum or whistle ?

Update: I gave the site a test, and found out that they do sell keywords. Meaning if you buy a keyword like Cars for 99 cents you will get traffic directed to your site when users type ‘cars’. Now that’s not a killer application, it just keyword advertisement in another form. Haha.

This publishing firm and others seems like they are going to sue google for overcharging or something. “Howard Stern and an industrial printing firm launched a lawsuit against Google last week, alleging that the search engine giant fails to live up to its promises regarding the daily budget limits that AdWords users can place over their accounts.”

Have a look at the class action suit picture. Think they didnt state the reason it just had google inc on it.
