So what exactly will the app do? As the tweet reveals, the App also shows trending and upcoming artists to users.
According to TechCrunch, the app will give artists and songs recommendations to users. This will be based on information gathered about the user, thanks to personalization derived from what accounts people follow on Twitter.
As far as the music is concerned, it will be stored on and delivered to a user via SoundCloud integration notes TechCrunch.
Meanwhile We Are Hunted posted on their blog, stating,
While we are shutting down wearehunted.com, we will continue to create services that will delight you, as part of the Twitter team.
There’s no question that Twitter and music go well together. 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.
