Twitter #Music launched with Spotify streaming as a core feature. It’s only fair that Spotify #Music get an app of its own, then, and one has just launched today. The new client very closely mimics its web counterpart, letting members find and play trending music on Twitter from big-name artists, fast-rising newcomers and everyone in given genres. As you’d imagine, the difference rests in how you play music — it’s much faster to start a track or add it to a playlist, and you don’t need to be a Spotify Premium subscriber to tune in. If you’re interested in learning what the world is listening to, you’ll find the free #Music app at the source link.

GetGlue reworked its iPhone app recently to feature not only a new design, but also add more content sources, and now those features are also available on Android devices. The service is moving beyond check-ins of what users are watching and now provides personalized advice on what to watch. Those recommendations blend currently airing broadcast TV with commonly used online services like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, among others. There are also curated lists of suggestions and the newly refreshed show pages along with the ability for users to post their own memes, videos and news. The only feature that didn’t make the jump from the iPhone is the ability to link up with DirecTV satellite receivers for remote control, but otherwise it’s all here.

There’s a new feature in Firefox 3 Beta 5 that I just came across yesterday when using the browser, and I’m not sure how long it has been there. What I did was I clicked on the icon for our site which brought up what would normally be security-related information for the page your viewing. Then I clicked the More Information button:

I was then presented with more details on the security of the site, which includes being able to view cookies or passwords for that particular domain. What I found to be really interesting, however, is that it says whether you’ve visited that particular site before… and how many times you have done so:

If you frequently clear out the browser’s history then it obviously won’t be able to keep track of this, but it’s been a month or so since I’ve done that. Needless to say I’ve visited our site quite a bit in that period of time. 😉

Google’s been making the Drive app on Android better and better with every update since its debut on the platform — and lest we forget its iOS counterpart, too. Today’s new features might not be as flashy as the ones we saw with the introduction of the card UI, with Google placing emphasis on core functionality and making it easier to create, scan and upload files. Drive users will now see buttons for said functions near the bottom of the application, which then allows them to be quickly triggered with a simple tap. Google also points out that the app’s theme now sports a lighter color, with the idea being to make “content easier on the eyes.” If anything, the cupcakes shown on the sample screenshot are definitely making our mouths watery.

Google+’s Hangouts On Air is a nice feature for broadcasting yourself to the world, but it’s been a bit of a one-way street when it comes to interacting with your droves of adoring fans. Mountain View will be addressing that problem over the next few days with the rollout of Live Q&A, a feature that lets On Air hosts solicit, select and answer Qs you can A from up to one million simultaneous viewers. Those questions will be timestamped and added to the YouTube recording of the video, as well. The full version of the feature is coming to the desktop version of Google+, with read-only hitting Android devices.
