Twitter Music


After Twitter's acquisition of music discovery service We Are Hunted became public, rumors began to circulate about a Twitter music app launching at the Coachella music festival this weekend. This development surfaced less than a day after We Are Hunted, a music discovery service, announced that it was acquired by Twitter. 

 The We Are Hunted team did not offer other details, except that it will shut down its website and that the staff will join Twitter. However, there is a Twitter music website up. Users discovered the music website Friday, although the website is not granting access to log-in requests as of 1 p.m. on Friday.

 Twitter officials are not commenting on the matter, but they are pointing to the announcement made by We Are Hunted.
We Are Hunted, a 5-year-old company based in San Fancisco, used proprietary search technology to search the Internet for the latest music worldwide. It measured the popularity based on music charts, blogs, and social media accounts, and its recommendations spanned multiple genres.

 For now, the buzz is on if and when the announcement will be made. Speculation started circulating after radio star Ryan Seacrest tweeted about testing the Twitter Music service Thursday: “playing with @twitter’s new music app (yes it’s real!) … there’s a serious dance party happening at idol right now.”

 It wasn’t until Mr. Seacrest’s comment that We Are Hunted made its official announcement on its site and tweeted about it.
If Seacrest is to be believed, the app also offers the ability to play tracks, a feature that caused a "serious dance party" to break out on the set of Idol.

 The app allegedly helps users discover new artists as well as stream music through Soundcloud, and overs a way to view what tunes are popular on Twitter as a whole as well as popular with just your friends.
