Blender's 'Hot 100' Number 27. Killer App - SeeqPod
"You're strolling through the park with your new love (by which we mean your iPhone) and you desperately need to hear some live Arcade Fire - but you don.t have any loaded. Not to fret: Just surf on over to SeeqPod.com, an MP3 search engine with a slick iPhone interface, and let the streaming begin."
"The technology used to conduct the searches is also available to ad networks and social networks to improve the user experience by better targeting what they want.."
"Since it's casting a wide net, SeeqPod provides the best results of any of the programs in this list."
"The intuitive interface and speed of SeeqPod are what sets it apart..."
"The homepage is reminiscent of Google's original unadorned page with just a simple search form. The vital difference, is that SeeqPod also displays a sample of current music being indexed by its engine. These songs are meant to draw you in, and succeed at it. There's something mesmerising about watching track after track scroll by."
"David Byrne has more than just good song titles, he also has some interesting thoughts on digital music, DRM, and search..."
"A site called SeeqPod could be the part of the genesis of what Byrne's talking about (although it's free to use)."
"They have embraced the term 'Playable Search'. They decided to apply their sophisticated technology to music and video search so that anyone, anywhere, can search the Web for media that is publicly available, yet not always easy to find."
