We feel that sometimes it is necessary to applaud those apps that have been around since the beginning. Believe it or not there used to be a time when it would take hours to figure out the name of the song that was playing on the radio this morning during you drive to work, or the killer set that the DJ played last night at the club. This time period, commonly referred to as BSZ (before Shazam) was one that very few of us can even recollect. Shazam, now in its tenth year, features outstanding support music, videos, brands, advertisements and much more, on almost any device out there. With some of its most recent updates for Android, widget tagging, artist tour dates and live lyrics view (great for anyone who loves karaoke) Shazam has really taken its app/enterprise to the next level. If you don’t have it…you need it! And if you do… keep SHAZAMING!
