This has nothing to do with newsagencies but, then, it has everything…Midomi lets you search for a song or music by singing or humming. You can also register songs by singing or humming. It also connects people by what they register and search for. It’s this kind of borderless search and interaction which represents challenge for traditional retailers like newsagents to understand and cope with. People’s online lives and interactions will evolve and become more exciting while their offline life will feel more and more like a nostalgic journey.
I’d love someone to come into my shop hum a tune when they’re searching for something.
Midomi is onto something.
Combine Midomi with The Archive of Misheard Lyrics – http://www.kissthisguy.com/ and they would have something useful.
http://www.songtapper.com/ is cooler. Don’t need a mic so you can do it at work.
