Now, Twitter is using this technology to develop music application for iOS. It’s called Twitter#Music. As you’ll remember Vine, the video sharing app that Twitter released in January. It wasn’t popular. Twitter Music will suggest artists and songs based on iTunes, Spotify and Rdio. The songs will play from SoundCloud. Another argument, this project will have images. Twitter Music uses four sections;
