I can get why they would copy the tweet functionality from them, but maps? tunewiki maps makes sense (where this artist/song is being listened to? what people around me are listening to?) - but a map for "where was I when I heard a song that I didn't know?"... seems half cooked to me. A really cool usage of google map is http://www.tunewiki.com/musicMaps.aspx I think that my issue with Shazam is that they only know which songs a user did not know and not what he/she listening to. This is why I like the tunewiki maps and charts better. My killer app would be to merry this two apps together, tunewiki player, charts and maps with Shazam tagging capabilities. BTW - Is it true that this version of Shazam is not out for Android yet?? Shak I think they went too far with copying tunewiki.
