Amid a myriad of options, Songza purports to offer a “humane interface” for searching and playing music online. Unlike many competitors, Songza has no glaring advertising, registration requirements, or charge for its service. Simply put, Songza offers you a way to essentially “Google” a tune and play it instantly with no special software required. The songs located by Songza are found freely on the Internet and can range greatly in audio quality. That said, Songza delivers exactly what it promises and nothing more. If you’re in the mood to listen to a few tunes and you have a recollection of the title or artist, this application is certainly for you.

Shopping can be the ultimate let down. If you’re lucky, you might guess correctly and buy a product that performs well, holds up over time and is backed by great customer service. Then again, you might not. Wize.com provides a wealth of product information, user reviews, and comparison pricing all in a single location. Like many similar sites, Wize aggregates customer ratings and reviews from a variety of sites such as Amazon.com and presents the information in a uniform 0-100 color-coded rating system making it easy to spot potential winners. Wize also applies several calculations to make the ratings more valid such as weighting “expert reviews” a bit higher than feedback from average folks. Screenshots and full review
