iTunes 9 Connects With Facebook And Twitter
Brandon Davenport
You will now be able to share albums you’re interested in over Facebook and Twitter. This is going to be a Huge step for Apple and may bring a lot more activity to Twitter and Facebook.
Since this is happening I feel that Twitter and Facebook are going to take advantage of this and maybe supply some nifty new features. Like a filter for twitter to see what is trending in iTunes or a mini-social group for Facebook. I have a feeling apple is going to have some really neat stuff for the iPhone and iPod's that relate to this feature.
And, of course, iTunes is now the biggest music retailer in the world, with over 100 million accounts and 8.5 billion songs downloaded, which means that even if a small fraction of iTunes users take advantage of the new sharing functionality, that will still represent a lot of sharing.
Note that this version of iTunes apparently does not have the social playlist features that had been rumored in the weeks leading up to today’s event.
