Twitter Music in 140 Bytes Or Less

If Twitter is the condensed soup of the social networking isle in the internet super store then Twitter music must be to music what DJ Hero is to rhythm games. No, I'm not talking about posting links to music in a tweet like what works and is normal. Dan Stowell took it upon himself to find a different way of doing things and in the process created, SuperCollider 3, a software program that turns code into sound creating the worlds first "Twitter Album." Before you get too exited don't go thinking you can fit your favorite Jay Z song into 140 bytes or less. Anyone who is familiar with old school video games should know what they are going to hear.

I would just like to say congrats to Dan Stowell for creating a software program that does what countless others can already do but worse and for no good reason. To be fair however, the idea is kind of nifty but the implementation seems pointless. I don't think song tweets will be replacing download links anytime soon.
