]]> Amazon.com music has released a new feature or grouping of music on their website. It’s called “As Heard On”, and the entire section features those songs you’ve probably heard on TV shows, commercials and movies. Many of the songs featured now are the original artists performing those songs you’ve been hearing one of the American Idol contestants singing every week.

Without a doubt a great way for Amazon.com to capitalize on the popularity of American Idol, and continue getting their own piece of the downloaded music marketshare from iTunes and Apple.

Above and beyond American Idol though, how many times have you been watching TV and heard a song in the background of a scene or in a commercial and wondered what it was or who sang it. Perhaps my best example is the old eToys.com commercial that featured “Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole.

What Amazon.com could really do to make this a great service though would be to allow you to search for songs by show title or commercial topic. Perhaps even putting in a date and time of the show you were watching to try and find the associated song. Now THAT would be cool. Almost like song tagging available on HD Radio and other services.

Go uncover some great music that was “As Heard On” by Amazon.com yourself

I met a gentleman, Patric Welch, this morning at my local coffee shop that runs the Noobie website and I really like the design, functionality and helpfulness of this site.

If you just need some tips and quick information on topics like:

  • Computers
  • Digital Cameras
  • Television & Home Theater
  • Internet
  • Phones & Mobile Devices
  • iPods & MP3 Players

The Noobie website will probably give you exactly the information you need to get started and answer the immediate questions you may have.

Here’s what Patric says about the site himself…

Noobie, Inc. is your technology education destination. Whether you want to get the most out of the latest gadget or learn new ways to make technology work for you, we can help. Noobie, Inc. offers reliable and objective information in safe and understanding environments. Attend an event, read an article, browse the blog, or schedule a coaching session.

Why didn’t I think of this first! Arrrghh.

If you’re like me and serve as the alpha-geek of your immediate and extended family. The Noobie site could be a great link to send friends and family to help them educate themselves on the tech that’s out there and what it can do for them.

Stop being a noob, go visit…
