SingShot Review - Online Karaoke Done Right
What do you get when you mix up Web 2.0, MySpace, Youtube, and karaoke together? You get SingShot. The site is in beta form, but already works very well. They are adding songs every week and it looks like they are going to charge for it as some point, so you might as well give it a try now. All you need is a USB microphone (costs about $12) and a PC.I sang a few songs and I'm pretty impressed with the overall quality of the background music and recordings. Like YouTube, they are using Flash technology to lower the bandwidth requirements, so don't expect CD quality. However it works good enough and listening to other people sing their renditions is strangely addicting in an American Idol sort of way.
