Unless you are familiar with the inner workings of the corporate world, you may not realize that the way some major technology firms in the US avoid paying so much in taxes is by setting up some operations in the country of Ireland. One of the companies that does this is Apple, which is reportedly […]
With its Nov. 15 IPO less than a month away, Twitter recently explained its latest revenue model additions. They include lead generation, traffic conversion and TV targeting. Having been in business since 2006 but yet to show a profit in any year since, Twitter is under pressure from the investing community to show why its […]
Back in April, Twitter launched its #music service. Through the iOS app, users could discover new music via four different ways, #NowPlaying, Suggested, Emerging and Popular. The app would show what sort of music is trending, thus allowing users to discover new and popular tracks. Merely six months down the road, it is being rumored that Twitter is “strongly considering” killing the #music app. The rumor comes from AllThingsD, which cites multiple sources “familiar with the matter.”
Apparently Twitter is currently revamping its music department, and there’s no concrete timeframe available in which the app is going to be killed off, though the decision about it biting the dust has been “nearly sealed.” It is said that after the initial spike following its launch, user engagement and downloads have been “abysmal.” When it was launched, the app noticed a spike in its iTunes Store rankings, it went as high as the 6th slot on the overall free downloads chart, but since then it has slipped down. Various app analytics companies give different rankings for the app, but its no where near the top ten anymore. Rumors of an impending shutdown come just one month after Twitter #music playlists were integrated into Spotify and Rdio, but if this report is true, then its likely that the move wasn’t able to ramp up user engagement, at least to a point where it would have convinced Twitter to not shut #music down.

Twitter’s #Music app is on its way to the junkyard after just six months of existence, sources close to the project have told All Things Digital. Although initially received with enthusiasm, it couldn’t hold its momentum in popularity. After jumping to #6 in the App Store rankings upon its initial launch earlier this year, it […]
Hey remember Twitter Music

We all do it. Every single thing they tweet sends you into a symphony of groans and sighs, and yet—you can’t quite bring yourself to end the pain. And if you’re being totally honest, you actually kind of like it. Maybe it’s masochism, maybe it’s the need to fuel your own sense of smugness, but either way, everyone can attest: The Twitter hate-follow hurts so good.

Twitter has been the social network for those of us who want a more simple interface than Facebook and Google+ provide. Twitter allows its users to communicate in a very easy way and has been used as sources for news stories for several years now. Yesterday, Twitter announced it would allow a users’ follower to send them a direct message if they don’t follow that user back, which according to All Things D, might be a precursor to the service launching its own standalone application to interact with Twitter messages.
