Twitter Users Can Now Enjoy Music Via Moments

Audio cards from SoundCloud are now compatible with Moments and users can enjoy their playlist on Twitter Moments.

Twitter is making its service, moments even more attractive than before. Users now have the option of listening to music via the service and enjoy their playlists when they are using the micro blogging platform. Audio cards from SoundCloud are now compatible with Moments, enabling users to make their own ‘tweetable’ playlist.

Tweets on the social media network will have a musical sound of their own; the social media giant does not just give a voice to users around the world but even music. Users can even share their playlists and tracks enjoyed by them on their accounts. The music platform, SoundCloud, made an announcement of this feature in collaboration with the company through a blog post that said, people will be able to hear more music thanks to this addition on ‘Moments’. The tweets will have embedded audio cards in order for users to listen to music.

This addition of audio cards by Twitter Inc. works perfectly well in the Moments interface for users making it easier for even the ones who do not know how this format works. SoundCloud is a huge music platform with approximately 125 million sound tracks, thus users will have a wide variety of options. This is amazing news for high profile singers and bands that publicize their music on the social media platform to inform their fans about the new albums. They can now even give a demo and add tracks in their tweets taking publicity to completely new level.

Support is available of audio cards for SoundCloud since 2014, but with this recent Moments development makes things even better. This is a great strategy by Jack Dorsey to make the platform as trendy, entertaining, and catchy as possible so that inactive users return to the platform. It wants to grow its user base, which has reportedly been a massive problem. It failed to keep its music app entertaining and fun, thus this addition is more than an appropriate effort.

Twitter music application faced many problems when it was introduced. This might have made it realize that updating the application is not a solution. Instead, coming up with an entirely new idea and platform must be the key.

In order to try out this new feature, users can go their accounts from today onwards but not so fast, they will first have to make their own playlists. Users can even recommend music to their friends on the social media platform, helping the company get into the music world this time.

Twitter Moments Can Now Support Web Links

Twitter is adding more options to its feature 'Moments' according to its blog post.

Twitter launched its feature, ‘Moments’ in 2015, which has been similar to its competitor, Snapchat’s Live Stories. Moments is a video-like feature with a bunch of relevant pictures and videos merged together into one single content outlet. Now this feature is getting further updates, according to blog post of the micro blogging company. This feature will now be able to support web link on both operating systems, Android and iOS.

The social media network newly added feature, moments, could be expected to have more capabilities and enhancement to make it even better. Initially, the feature was only supportive of images, videos, polls and vines, but now it will be able to support links so that publishers can tell their part of the story in their very own websites, through the provision of links. This is going to attract more publishers on the platform, as they can even advertise their brand.

Twitter Inc users will now have the opportunity to simply click on the link that has been given through Moments and they will be redirected to the website where the article or the relevant content is actually present. The company is not letting the tradition of the internet die so soon. By not exploiting the process of hyperlinking, and staying to its root, the same cannot be said for of the social media companies. Publisher can also be given credit for his hard work and the actual source from where the content was picked up can be accessed, which is spectacular.

Once users click on the given link and reading the desired article, they will be redirected back to Moments on the social platform and continue from wherever they left, which provides the convenience and authenticity. The social media advertising company has also signed partnership deals with various publishers that will show their set of pages through the feature. The feature of storytelling is going to be in-depth and enhanced through the addition of links.

The AMP-powered web support will enable the publishers to make work conveniently and faster. They would get a wider variety of audience for every category of content posted. The support for both operating systems – Android and iOS – is going to be available anytime now. Twitter is not the only organization that has been involved in the AMP project. Others are also collaborating, including Chartbeat, Adobe, Google, etc. to focus on accelerating the web on mobile devices.
