"Twitter #music (yep, that hashtag&amp;#x27;s intentional) launched today as a way for users to experience music and discover new artists, based on Twitter activity. You can get the full explanation on how to use it here. Being the music junkie that I am, I was pumped to try Twitter #music out and see how it stacks up to my fave music apps, including Rdio, Spotify, Pandora, and Myspace (just kidding&amp;amp;#8212;is anybody still using Myspace?). But once I actually tried using Twitter #music, all I could think was: Am I missing something? What I mean is: I think it&amp;#x27;s cool that Twitter #music will recommend artists and songs based on who you follow on Twitter&amp;amp;#8212;and from what I can tell, it&amp;#x27;s a good barometer for seeing what music is most on-trend. (Also, the app is, to quote Zoolander, really, really ridiculously good-looking.) But unless you have a Spotify or Rdio account, you get only a short iTunes preview of a song. So...in other words, you still have to have a subscription streaming service to enjoy full-length tracks. As much as I like Twitter #music in theory, methinks that users, myself included, will probably end up just sticking to whatever music service we currently prefer. There&amp;#x27;s hundreds of competition out there, and I don&amp;#x27;t think Twitter #music improves or replaces anything I&amp;#x27;m using. For example, if I want to pick-and-choose my songs to make a playlist, Spotify&amp;#x27;s my jam. For music discovery, I love that Songza can recommend songs based on whatever mood I&amp;#x27;m in. And there&amp;#x27;s so many more I haven&amp;#x27;t even tried! But again, maybe I just need to give Twitter #music another shot, so I&amp;#x27;ll say the jury&amp;#x27;s still out on this one. I&amp;#x27;m curious&amp;amp;#8212;what do you think of Twitter #music? And what&amp;#x27;s your go-to music-streaming service?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
