Twitter Preparing Service "Streaming" Music

Twitter continues to develop its lines of business. After successfully become the most popular microblogging site and short video services through the application Vine, Twitter start a new business, namely search and streaming music services.
Service called Twitter # Music for the first time introduced in a TV show in the United States, Good Morning America.
In the TV show, Twitter announced # Music will be separate from the Twitter application, which can be downloaded for free in the Apple App Store for iPhone products. Twitter said the party would soon take applications to other operating systems.



However, if it can not wait to try out the service # Music, the interest in a particular country can access the service through the site https://music.twitter.com. For a while, this new service works in the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Support for other countries will be added soon.
Excerpted from The Verge, Friday (19/04/2013), this service allows users to stream music that was popular on Twitter and from the bands or musicians that were followed.
Later, in the # Music application, there will be 4 parts that can be accessed by sliding the screen or swipe. 4th page consists of New, Emerging, Suggested, and Now Playing.
Popular pages will display whatever music is being widely discussed on Twitter. While Emerging will show the music of "hidden talent" is also widely discussed on Twitter.
As for the Suggested pages, will be more focused towards musicians who follow and are preferred. For the last page, Now Playing, will show the song being heard by friends and music is being said by a friend via chirp.
To bring the # Music, Twitter collaboration with various leading music services, such as Rdio, Spotify, and iTunes. Through this partnership as well, users can stream music directly through # Music app, without having to switch to another application.
Spotify and Rdio users can log in to their account to listen to music as a whole in Twitter # Music. Unfortunately, iTunes users can only listen to a preview or snippet of a song alone.
For the future, Twitter promises to cooperate with more music services again.
