Another great Twitter music sharing service has been launched. As it is known by Twitter Apps Twusic is both ingenious simple and most effective. The service uses Twitter hashtags and has reserved the hashtag #nowplaying to be used with its service. One just need to tweet a link accompanied by the hashtag and the music stream on Twitter is done. This is due for particular tracks and playlists. It seems that this works with YouTube, Last.fm or SongKick and at least it did not work with a rss feed or link to a mp3 file in a trial. Further features are an own radio, a player also able to be shared on other social networks and social networking functions. Furthermore a music search engine is included and members may represent themselves with profiles. The microblogging service Twitter by the way is steadily growing and will reach 500 million members in February. For more about the service and music sharing visit Twusic.
