Get Ready for the Coming of Twitter Music with musicMagpie

LONDON, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Twitter's famous blue bird will soon be singing a new tune-literally. The online
social networking site acquired the music discovery service We Are Hunted last year and
will use the technology to release its own standalone music app for iOS later this month.

    The new music discovery app, to be called Twitter Music, will incorporate Twitter
branding and make use of four main tabs. The "Popular" tab will highlight trending music,
while the "Emerging" tab will help promote up-and-comers in the industry. "#NowPlaying"
will show songs tweeted by the people you follow. Still looking for a good song
recommendation? "Suggested" will recommend songs based on the artists you follow and the
artists that people you follow are following. The streaming of music content to Twitter
Music will be powered by Sound Cloud.

    Twitter Music promises to be an exciting venture for the social networking site, which
already has strong ties with the music industry. After all, seven of the top ten most
followed accounts on Twitter belong to musicians-Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry,
Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, and Shakira. Make sure you're prepared for the
release of this groundbreaking app by selling your old CDs to musicMagpie
[http://www.musicmagpie.com ] and using the money you earn to upgrade your Smartphone to
the latest model.
