Social media network, Twitter, has
announced a new feature that will allow users to play podcasts, music and other
audio clips direct from their timelines, or message feeds. The new feature is
designed in partnership with Berlin-based audio-streaming service SoundCloud.
The online messaging service
introduced on Thursday what it called “Audio Card,” through which users can
listen to a variety of content whilst browsing their timelines.
Twitter didn’t say how Audio Card
might evolve, except to stress that it offers musicians a chance to post
exclusive clips.
Twitter’s new feature comes after
rivals from Apple Inc to Google Inc have jumped into the business of
music-streaming, considered the fastest-growing segment of a music market
dominated by iTunes.
Twitter had reportedly been in
discussions to acquire audio-sharing website SoundCloud, which has been called
the Youtube of music, as far back as June.
