Twitter’s new standalone music service finally arrives today on your desktop, but even more importantly, on your go-everywhere iPhone.
The social media company unveiled the new service on Good Morning America and in a blog post. Called “Twitter #music” — yes, the hashtag is intentional —the app “uses Twitter activity, including Tweets and engagement, to detect and surface the most popular tracks and emerging artists,” Twitter wrote in the post.
The free app and service will also be a home for music-related information, so you can find and follow musicians and learn more about which musicians they follow, which will then, of course, lead to more music discovery.
