Mike Isaac of the Wall Street Journal says that Twitter is “strongly considering killing off its Twitter #Music mobile application.”
And it’s only been around for, what, six months?
According to this story from Digital Music News, a few key-players in the app’s development jumped ship after a rocky launch.
And Twitter #Music’s popularity saw a quick drop, partially because only premium subscribers to streaming services like Spotify and Rdio were able to listen to full tracks. For all other users, playback was clipped.
So — what is Twitter going to do? Axe its #Music app altogether? Or build another few layers on top of it and hope the world forgets? (Like Troy VII!)
