Social network Twitter has recently acquired music discovery site We Are Hunted and is prepping a new app with its focus being entirely music. The app will tentatively be called ‘Twitter Music‘ and is expected to arrive on iOS in late March. This is a big win for music streaming service SoundCloud who will be providing the streaming, while recommendations will be customized based on Twitter accounts.

WEAREHUNTED has shut down service on their site just leaving a splash page which states:

We Are Hunted is one of the World’s leading music discovery services. The company publishes awesome music charts, recognized by industry insiders as the best source of new music in the world today. As well as its popular website, We Are Hunted has developed a series of innovative iPhone, iPad, Android and Spotify apps.

Behind the scenes, We Are Hunted is a software company that has developed proprietary search technology that continuously scans the web to find the hottest new music in the World today.

This is a big win in the state of streaming music online, it opens access for artist that much more. What are your thoughts?
