Twitter #Music is now upon us… What is this and what can it do for you?
Twitter #Music is a service by Twitter that allows you to discover music. How does it allow you to discover music? It uses Twitter tweets from its users that mentions song from iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, and other music serivces. Twitter then uses this information and lets you see what’s popular at the moment.
The website is laid out in tiles. You can hover over a tile and click the play button for a 30 second preview of the song. You can also follow that artist by clicking the Twitter bird icon that shows up in the top right corner as you hover over a tile. There are different sections you can find music, such as: Popular, Emerging, Suggested, #NowPlaying, then your own page of artist you follow.
Like the website… the iOS App has a tile layout as well. The tiles are interactive. These expand when you touch on one to emphasize the song/artist you are listening to. With the iOS App, you can login to your Spotify or Rdio account to listen to full length songs. Once you press play, it will continue to play each song from left to right.
Swiping from left to right (and vice versa) takes you to different sections. As mentioned above, you can see what’s Popular, what’s Emerging, what’s Suggested, what’s #NowPlaying, and your profile. You can also access drop down menu by pressing the top bar to then select a section.
This app is definitely something special. I will update as I play more with this app for a complete review…
