Midomi – You so happen to hear a song on the radio that conquers your soul and you hum it to yourself all day. However, you have no idea who is the performer, nor do you remember the lyrics. So you hum it to your friends in the hopes of salvation but no one gets you. Does this frustrating feeling seem familiar? Well no more heartaches – Midomi offers the ultimate solution: hum into your microphone and Midomi will search and hopefully locate your groovy track. The database is quite impressive, I found many songs by humming, like: Jolene – Doly Parton, Hello – Lionel Richie. On the other hand, I failed to find Rise Up – Yves La Rock.

I loved their Digg section- Be the First to “Digg” a story using a unique Digg module that identifies the most interesting stories with no “Digg” counts yet.
