Twitter can now preview music with Ping


This news is for those who are Twitter addicts and Ping users out there! Twitter have started to offer song previews right in your Twitter timeline. It's a pretty cool stuff, for Twitter making you preview a song right in your Twitter homepage is a music lover's dream.





What do you need to have in order to get previews of song shared on your Twitter timeline? The video says a lot but not that much though. 

Twitter explains things further. I'll take a snippet from their blog post about this stuff.
"On Ping you can easily link to your Twitter account to instantly find Ping users among the people you already follow on Twitter.
Once you’ve linked the accounts, whenever you Post, Like, Review, or tell your friends why you purchased a song or album on Ping, this activity will also be tweeted to your Twitter followers – complete with playable song previews and links to purchase and download music from iTunes.
When you click on a Tweet that's sent via Ping or that contains an iTunes link, you'll see the song or album in Twitter’s details pane, with the ability to listen to song previews from iTunes, making the experience even richer." - Twitter
This feature is very dependent on iTunes though. The song previews from iTunes is available at Twitter.com in the 23 countries where the iTunes Stores offers music. So for those countries that do not have access to iTunes Store, the way I understand this complicated stuff, is not available. But you still might want to try it.
