Article: Twitter Music App Coming

While I loved the idea of We Are Hunted I really never spent time on it.  This is an interesting move by Twitter.  Even more interesting is the link in the first comment, expanding on Twitter's move to build a broadcast ecosystem.

Twitter To Launch Music App This Weekend, Confirms Acquisition Of We Are Hunted - hypebot

"Twitter will launch its much rumored music discovery app this weekend at Coachella according to AllThingsD. Twitter also finally confirmed its acquisition of the We Are Hunted music discovery site, as apart of this broader move into music. Hypebot first reported the acquisition in March.

Details:

'While we are shutting down wearehunted.com, we will continue to create services that will delight you, as part of the Twitter team,' We Are Hunted posted yesterday on it's site .'There's no question that Twitter and music go well together,' the post continued. 'Artists turn to Twitter first to connect with fans, and people share and discover new songs and albums every day. We can't wait to share what we've been working on at Twitter.'

The Twitter Music App

WeAreHunted has developed proprietary search technology that continuously scans the web to find new music that is creating buzz. That same technology will likely power the new Twitter Music app. The app is rumored to suggest new music based on the artists the user follows on Twitter with Soundcloud, iTunes and VEVO all delivering content."
