Twitter has just confirmed that they have acquired We Are Hunted, a music startup that is based in San Francisco, where it is capable of keeping track of the most popular songs located throughout the Internet and social media. We Are Hunted greeted the world with this message on their website, “While we are shutting down wearehunted.com, we will continue to create services that will delight you, as part of the Twitter team.There’s no question that Twitter and music go well together. Artists turn to Twitter first to connect with fans, and people share and discover new songs and albums every day. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on at Twitter.”
This is definitely in line with some news from March which stated Twitter’s intentions to roll out its very own music application, and it seems that such ambition has now been realized with the acquisition of We Are Hunted. Do you think it will eventually be rebranded to Twitter Music?
