Since our latest major update halfway September, Twones got a lot of attention from the international techpress. Excited about the new beta, several sources even compared us with other successful platforms like Last.fm, Del.ici.ous and Twitter. A quick overview.
Wired
It all started with a feature in Wired's September issue. We found ourselves mentioned in the article
'5 Apps Tap the Internet's Infinite Playlist'. Wired described how you can stream almost any song on the Internet nowadays. In an overview of five sites that 'tap the music into the cloud', Wired mentioned Twones together with among others
Spotify.
Lifehacker
Lifehacker was one of the first to report about the September-release and mentioned that Twones keeps track of all the music you listen to, comparing us with
Last.fm. We were very proud to be compared with this giant player in the online music industry while still in private beta!
Mashable
“Music has always been a communal process” says Christina Warren from
Mashable “and sharing what we're listening to and songs that we like is becoming increasingly popular”. In the article she pointed at the ease of recommending songs to others made possible in Twones.
Read Write Web
The
Read Write Web Start Channel which profiles startups, wrote “If you're the kind of music lover with playlists strewn across multiple web services, then Twones is the tool for you.” To describe the platform they compared us with Del.icio.us or a Friendfeed for streaming music.
Asia
After the American attention, the Asian techpress followed last week. The Japanese version of
Lifehacker posted an article and
many others are still following. After all this attention, we are already busy improving the platform for our next major release planned halfway October. Keep track of our latest developments by checking our
Twitterpage regularly and let us know what you think of Twones in the comments!
Tip: We gave some extra invitecodes away to some of the above mentioned websites. Too late to grab one on the first run? Try searching these sites or Twitter and you might find yourself lucky!
