Yesterday, a new application called WatZatSong launched. WatZatSong is a website where people that don’t know what a specific song is can either post a recording or hum the tune that they can’t find the name for. Music savvy community members then respond to each user’s posting with the correct song name. The Facebook application picks random sets of 10 songs samples and you need to guess each one. Some of the samples include people humming out the tunes. So is this an iLike competitor? Definitely not. The application seems to be missing the viral component. I have to admit though that I was thoroughly entertained by a French girl screwing up the lyrics to the song “Cotton Eye Joe.” In comparison, the iLike application was smart in that you could compare your song naming skills with your friends. This application fails to leverage the social component of Facebook. I think this is a good start but definitely an unfinished product. If you want to go guess the songs that random people hum to you, check out the WatZatSong application.
A New iLike Competitor?
