Unnamed sources have informed CNET that Twitter Music will suggest artists and songs based on "a variety of signals". It will also be personalized based on what the user is following on Twitter. Songs will be streamed to the app through SoundCloud.
According to the report, Twitter Music will be powered by technology developed by We are Hunted Twitter hasn't announced anything official regarding the actual acquisition, but sources claim that it happened within the last six months. The tech was created by four Australian developers in 2009: Stephen Phillips, Richard Slatter, Michael Doherty and Nick Crocker. Investor Graeme Wood dumped $3 million into the project, and on April 17, 2009, We Are Hunted opened its doors to the public.
Some of the company's accomplishments include music discovery apps for smartphones and tablets including Music Hunter for iPad and Super Sonic for iPhone. We Are Hunted's service creates Billboard-style music charts by pulling in information from blogs, social media, message boards and BitTorrent. It allows users to stream music, create playlists and share their favorites on social networks.
The upcoming Twitter Music app will consist of a number of tabs including "Suggested", "Popular", "Now Playing" and "Emerging". The "Suggested" tab lists songs and artists based on the user's follower graph, meaning artists they are following, and artists that other people they follow are following. The "Now Playing" tab captures tweets from people the user follows who uses the #NowPlaying hashtag. "Popular" lists the trending songs and "Emerging" lists up-and-coming artists.
