Lunch
Lunch is a social sharing network fueled by your curiosity. It’s a community where you create and discover genuinely useful information with people who share your interests. Lunch is based on the idea that you’ll have the most meaningful exchanges with people who get your sense of humor, taste in books, love of snowboarding or penchant for Pac-Man. Let’s talk about karaoke!
At Lunch, you can contribute facts and opinions about almost everything. Based on your contributions, Lunch connects you to a similarity network of people who share your opinions and ideas. Through them, you can discover a mystery novel you’ve never heard of, a great local animal hospital, or the best place to buy folding bikes. You get personalized content in the best way — through the right people. Lunch filters out the noise to give you what’s most relevant to you and most useful to others. In turn, your feedback encourages other members to create better, more thoughtful content.
Lunch is a community of people who appreciate good conversation and respect. It’s a network that connects you to those who share your passion for understanding more in life.
Feed your curiosity. Lunch.

Midomi
Midomi Ultra is the ultimate music search tool because it is powered by your voice. Sing, hum, or whistle to instantly find your favorite music and connect with a community that shares your musical interests. I don’t know about you, but we are always forgetting who sang which song…Midomi is our lifesaver! You’ll be able to request songs during the tour with this cool app! Video demo here.
- Just hold your iPhone up to a speaker, and Midomi names the tune in as little as five seconds!
- It even works if you sing or hum the melody.
- You can also instantly check out a song or band just by saying or typing the name.
- You can share a song on Twitter or Facebook, buy it, or check out lyrics, videos, and artist info for free
