kait (@kaituhhh) reportedalmost 2 years ago, someone walking by was trying to shazam beat up chanels as i was listening to it first time w my windows down at a red light
-
nikko 🔜 chicago critics film festival (@NikkoCaruso) reported@The_Boricua_AMC I don’t think i can fully attribute this as the reason. The GA wasn’t as wired into that as you think. Plus, 3 of those films were sequels to films that were liked* before. 3 of those got bad reviews (Shazam, Aquaman, Joker 1 was mixed, and had controversy (Flash) 1 was reviewed well but made no money (Blue Beetle) So 4 of those projects weren’t even considered good. The public still pays attention to reviews. They added to the “mediocre film issue”

RocketedFromKrypton🚀 (@TravisEL1938) reported@DComicTalks @LifeMi1987 Shazam! came off the heels of the JL'17 debacle. DC was in shambles. It was about positioning. Rock and Dany wanted nothing to do with Shazam. They wanted Cavill in Black Adam. Cavill's agents sided with Rock as they turned down Shazam. Bad blood ensued with the studio/Emmerich.

who, me? 🦉 (@mymanbpostin) reported@ghtljs @EricFarenheit When the options are "Captain Marvel" (fine but too associated with Marvel comics), "Shazam" (good for branding but terrible as an in-universe name), and "The Captain" (What was Waid thinking. What was the plan here.) then yeah, Captain Thunder seems like the obvious best one.

Frisco D'Lozano (@phlegMAGA) reported@thechosenberg If you're thirty eight and actually made plans to see Shazam, you have much bigger issues than her.
-
Ads (@Adsnewaccount) reported@archrxz @CQuill97 1. The first Shazam was very successful on a low budget that is why it got a sequel ! 2. Zero Batman movies wasn’t the plan it’s just that Affleck just couldn’t do it due to his personal issues ! 3. Pattinson and Reeves don’t want it and Gunn respects that choice

H.A. Blackwood (@HABlackwood7) reportedIn the store and there’s a lot of background noise. I used sound hound to try and identify a song. I was spinning for like 20 seconds and never came up with it. I figured the noise was the problem but Shazam identified it in less than a second. I guess I’m using it from now on.
-
keldog (@keldog4) reported@EthicalSkeptic @JohnPlatner I started w/ google, gave them all the info. they wanted. Tried a few times through them and I failed. Then used Woo..2 single orders (myself and brother-in-law). Then Shazam sent a fraud alert and mentioned Milton, Georgia and ******/dating service? I have windows 10 computers

Dominic Ayers (@ayersdomm) reportedseems for the IOS is having an issue of not lettin my shazam musics links go through on twitter x
-
Ronald Soccer (@EyeshieldDeku21) reported@dailystarzam Shazam from the New 52 was kind of disappointing for me, I just didn't read Johns' run on DC Rebirth because of the neglect that went down.
-
Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported@empatheticcain It wasn’t a rights issue. DC could always call Billy Captain marvel and even did so several times in alternate universes when his name was “Shazam” They just couldn’t call his comics “Captain marvel” and Geoff Johns decided to change the name in the New 52.
-
Ziggy (@ZquadboyZ) reported@dailystarzam Retire Billy, have the Shazam mantel be passed down every couple years, because Billy staying a child ruins any semblance of a timeline. Also Shazam is a cool name
-
Kol El (@Pryme_Official) reported@maxvayshia Black Adam and Thor will seriously wear him down. Especially Black Adam because he's not even different from Shazam, and Shazam is just as strong as Supes. Hancock too tbh. That n!gga built different fr. The rest are insects.
-
Tyrecea⚛️ (@Tyrecea_z) reportedBesides the black adam 6 issue or maybe it was 12 issue comic of bolt. I do not know this *****, I just like a concept of a black guy as Shazam-esque character

Born To Boogie - Marc Bolan Archive (@GlamRockMarc) reported📆 April 19, 2002, “Jeepster” by T. Rex became the first song successfully identified by Shazam. This happened during a pre-launch test of the service, which at the time required users to call a phone number and receive the song title via text message. The company, now owned by Apple, has since developed technology capable of identifying billions of songs.

Pavlos 🦅 (@the_shrimp_lord) reported@ihatemeen_ superman would beat any of them one on one but shazam and wonder woman together could probably take him down also batman would def kryptonite on standby if this ever happened
-
sami💋 (@pureherow1n) reportedguys I was at work and this diabolically terrible song played and I was like I have to Shazam it bc this is straight cheeks and then it turns out it’s Blackpink’s new song 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 yikes bro
-
NBA HENDRIXX (@38BaBydrixx) reported@Favourblinz_ Ghanaian artist ankasa be someway imagine Shazam don’t even know larruso en song the thing shock me. Cos this just down to bad management. They need to work on there crafts on god
-
bolter 🐇 (@acebolter) reported@UncannySp1der It’s actually more like if the Absolute universe started with Shazam mounted over Darkseid’s fire place. And yeah i don’t really think that would be a big issue either
-
Nicolle⁷ (@EgosShadow7) reportedFor baby army who might not know: -we are spreading the MV Teaser everywhere, but not reposting the whole MV on sns. Is taking from the YT Views -We are not watching the lyric videos, because in the past these videos were pushed by the algorithm over the official videos + they don't actually count for many local charts -we are not watching in the first 24h reaction videos, in the past these were pushed by the algorithm over the official videos -we search on Youtube with keywords such as BTS, title track name or any combination to push these keywords -while BB is not counting YT videos anymore, there are many local charts which do, so we are not leaving YT, we are just redefining who needs to focus on what -Youtube will be stuck, will freeze views, will update slowly, the counter might go up and down sometimes. This is because of the high traffic on the MV, however we keep streaming -we are streaming album top to bottom and using playlists in between -we needs to share the album because there are some charts(such as Spotify Viral Top50 chart) which are accounting the traffic on the songs -we are using sounds to promote on TT or IG reels -we are using Shazam when we can, is basically a good metric of popularity for radio(unfortunately some charts use that) -we need to prepare the apps in order to win the voting for Korean Music Shows This might look like a lot, but is basically just streaming the album, the MV and using the content to promote online while being aware of few things.

Anny (@AnnySan1048425) reported@HanisRashidi @joker573426 @Rigoldente79928 Down so bad with no real streaming numbers to brag about that they’re flexing Shazam searches now..like it’s the same thing as streams. 😭 They really think 400k counts as streams. Its like never even went to school😭
-
Joseph Adorno (@ComicBookRehab) reported@ForLangley @WizardsComics And the debacle itself all came down to an appalling amount of bad communication/misinformation/lack of representation, whether intended or unintended, since Mick Anglo was still alive, although once the character Marvelman, it was like, "Oh...British Captain Marvel/Shazam.."
-
Spiderkid10000 (@SwigittyS) reported@Fenrirtheicewo1 Literally DCAU Shazam scales to teh destruction of Apokolips. Speed is a really real issue however.

JoshS (@303FAN) reportedI think @Shazam is broken. I use it to identify a song and it said DJ Smooth Panda. Is this real life?

Julie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) reportedLast week Idaho Governor Brad Little signed HB 542, Stop Harms from Addictive Social Media Act (SHASM - ADF calls is “Shazam!! 💥”) While the bill seems to have good intentions, it’s impossible to implement without universal age verification - handing MORE data of children to Big Tech - and constant behavioral monitoring of children online. This “solution” will undoubtedly make the problem worse. Additionally, it is the opposite of “parental empowerment”, forcing a government mandate on every family.
