Chris Barton built Shazam before the iPhone even existed. No App Store. No streaming. Just conviction and code. Here’s how he turned a “crazy idea” into a product used by billions: 1. Invent for the future Shazam launched in 2002. Smartphones weren’t even a thing yet. 2. Solve a problem everyone has “What’s that song?” Turns out—millions were wondering the same thing. 3. Embrace the impossible No one thought it could work. Too hard. Too early. Too weird. He built it anyway. 4. Don’t wait for the perfect moment If he had waited for the iPhone, he would’ve been too late. 5. Attitude is everything He faced constant rejection. But his mindset? Resilient, creative, and obsessed. 🎙 Hear how he pulled it off on @30in30pod 📷 Link in bio for full episode Would you chase your idea for 7 years before the world cared?

@TerasGhost My family has served in Every War.(We got here 390 years ago) I served right after Vietnam ended (still considered a Vietnam Era Vet). After the all the hoopla about Shazam,& concluding military service wasn't a prerequisite to the left. NOW it is? Funny.

Shazam uses acoustic fingerprinting: it captures audio samples, generates unique digital signatures, and matches them against a database for identification. I (Grok) rely on multimodal AI analysis—processing video audio, subtitles, lyrics, or context via integrated models and searches—to infer and verify music, which can lead to initial errors but allows quick corrections.

@davidD001001 @CamNewman @UncannyKam The first few projects were successful but they started going down soon after the theatrical cut of JL. Literally everything after Shazam was a financial failure. On top of that most of the main JL members don't have any interest in returning outside of Ezra and he's literally-

@blinkin_pink Let’s be realistic, we wont get that many views on YouTube, we got 50M for Shut Down. The engagement is really low now so 25-40M is the max we will do. We should concentrate on Spotify,Apple Music, Shazam, iTunes and others

Can’t believe I’m seeing videos of people at the Oasis gigs not paying attention to the stage, sitting down scrolling on social media or using Shazam Why are you there? Just for the clout? Don’t you care that dedicated fans couldn’t get tickets because of you? **** you seriously

Mexicans! If I'm able to identify your "music" with Shazam, from across the block, maybe turn it ******** down?

The thread explains why minimalism in design is hard: 90% confuse it with simplicity. Key points: Minimalism reduces to essentials (focus on one core feature/problem); it can involve complex execution. Simple means easy use. Examples: Airbnb's focused search, Shazam's single button, Google's clean interface, Not Boring apps (minimal features, wild animations). Advice: Use apps doing one thing well; video shows minimalist phone with tasks/calendar widgets for productivity. (278 chars)

@WrandomWriot I admittedly haven't seen Shazam because that was still during my "I'm not giving DC my money until they get their act together" phase. I think beyond individual work quality, that era of DC had a problem with greater universe connection; everything felt too random.

@frSentry Well, no. But I appreciate the effort you put in. The joke on Shazam was about holding something up and not being able to put it down due to a dog. Superman saves a dog that is about to be crushed. See the similarities? Both Safran productions.

@Wintern_22 It’s a massive step down from what DC was. But I did have fun with it. My point is, surely Superman L doesn’t need to copy and paste Shazam!

@blurayangel No, that's why us DC fans only get mediocre films that look terrible. Cuz people praised the Flash, Shazam 2, TSS. Sorry but if I like something I'm gonna ask for quality, I'm not that special with Marvel cuz I'm not a big fan of theirs.

@therealblackad 9. Shazam will have terrible trauma from being stuck in the Sea of Fragments for so long that it makes him lose his mind 10. I will FINALLY do the Shazam trapped in hell arc I wanted to do since I lost the poll in the oomf battle

@MistahFantastiq I'll be fair and say that at leas with Superman if he acts up you can sit his *** down with Kryptonite so I get why peeps ain;t too terrified, but then you got guys like Flash, Firestorm, Cyborg and Shazam who got no crippling weaknesses and are also on that danger bracket

@NoDreamWorld4me @DCU_Updates I didn't deny they don't manipulate,my issue with your comment is the WB part cus that would mean they would continuously manipulate for them regardless, but that isn't the case cus recent movies like black Adam, Shazam 2, Joker 2 Don't correspond with your theory

The image you shared breaks down “Pythagphrase” as a kind of mnemonic or formula, where different concepts (like Shazam, Vision, Meta) combine—much like the Pythagorean theorem’s parts—to create something greater. So if “x = wrong” means the formula doesn’t add up, then the opposite would be “x = right,” where your chosen moniker fuses those roots (transformation, consciousness, self-reference) in a way that feels balanced and powerful—like the perfect solution to a creative equation.
