Spotify and Soundhound Join Forces For Instant Music Discovery
Aug 26th
Music streaming service Spotify has partnered with Soundhound, a company that makes music recognition and discovery software for mobile devices. Soundhound users who use the company’s Android or iOS app to discover new songs will soon be given the option to stream the song from Spotify instantly.
Much like its main competitor Shazam, Soundhound “listens” to a song that’s playing and then checks the audio sample against a large database of music to determine what the song is called and who it’s by. It can even determine the name of a song based on users humming or singing it into the app, although the accuracy of the results can vary.

With this integration, Soundhound users can not only discover what the song is, but can then open it in Spotify and stream it in its entirety or save it for later. From there, they can easily search for more music by that artist to see if they’re more than a one-hit wonder.
The partnership gives both services at least a slight advantage over its competitors, as Spotify gains a new source of potential subscribers and Soundhound tacks on a feature that sets it apart from similar services. Shazam, for example, lets users purchase tracks from iTunes , but they can’t stream them instantaneously without paying for and downloading them individually.
This feature only works for Spotify Premium users and for now, appears to only be avaialble in Europe.

Google Adds Instant Hangout to YouTube Videos
Aug 23rd
When it comes to Google+, one of Google’s strongest advantages is its ability to integrate the service with other key services. Considering the immense success of Plus so far (it’s the fastest growing website of all time), it’s unsurprising that Google is starting to move that integration into place. YouTube is one of the first services that’s seeing a Plus-based feature.
The specific feature? The option to start a Google Hangout directly from the YouTube video. For those unfamiliar with Hangouts, it’s a group video chat feature that Google included in the launch of Plus. Hangouts already allowed you to navigate to YouTube and show the people in your hangout your favorite videos. Now, however, it works in reverse as well. Nested in the “share” button, you’ll now see the option to start a hangout centered around the video. So, when I want to watch Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog with a non-specific group of Google+ friends, I can do that.
For now, this works as a “viewing party” feature for YouTube, similar to what we’ve already seen on Netflix. However, the ability to share videos from YouTube on Google+ may work as a solid marketing tool once business profiles are launched later this year. In the meanwhile, the Hangout option also gives Google+ some additional exposure.
