Interesting new application mixes DJs with Twitter feeds...

Zune Social: tromboneforhire | By: Marques Lyons | 9/24/2009 |



So imagine that you're out on the town listening to your favorite DJ. They play a song that you absolutely love, but you'll never be able to remember the name of. Well, Richie Hawtin has you covered. He has researched and created a program that will send a Twitter message (in real time) while a DJ is performing.

The application, called "TwitterDJ" (makes sense as a name doesn't it?!) will send 30-second updates during a DJ set of what is currently playing to a designated Twitter account. Anyone following this particular account will have a chance to see how a DJ builds his/her performance over time by knowing what songs are playing when.

Also, imagine yourself as a composer. Imagine that your name and song is being broadcasted over a Twitter account for those following a particular DJ. Now you get instant free advertising to a group of people at once. If they are hearing your song and enjoying it, now they'll know who you are and being to seek you out and listen to more of your music.

By the way, the picture being used is not of Richie Hawtin. That's actually Morgan Page as he was performing for a Zune CES party. Just in case you were asking... :-)
