Twitter #music #fail

After only two weeks since its release, Twitter’s new music app appears to be failing. The much anticipated Twitter #music launched at number five on all iOS charts. As of this morning, it had fallen to 127. That’s one below Bike Race Free. Not a great start for what is advertised as “A fresh approach to finding new music…” So why is the new app already headed the way of the 8-track tape?

The problem with Twitter #music may be in the very methodology it uses. It works on the basic premise that the user will have a similar taste in music to who they follow. That might work if you’re following Katy Perry because you like her music. But just because you follow Barack Obama doesn’t mean you want to share what’s on his iPod.

Unless Twitter #music changes its course, it might be headed the way of Snookify Me.
