Twitter DJ Publishes Song Names In Realtime From The Booth
0A recent study revealed that 80-85% of “tweets” on twitter are totally useless “what am i doing now” posts. I have a twitter account myself but haven’t been compelled enough to actually sift through the 20-30 tweets just to get to a few, if any, useful ones.
Twitter DJ is an example of a creative and innovative way to leverage the power of twitter to connect with your audience in real-time. Developed by DJ Producer and label owner, Richie Hawtin, Twitter DJ broadcasts the track names of the current song live to Twitter.
It uses Traktor’s broadcasting technology to tweet using the DJ’s twitter account. That means that his followers will be able to know exactly what he’s playing. How many times have you wondered what the name of that hot track was when you were on the dance floor? It’s a cool way to promote songs and artists and connect with your audience at the same time.
Check out the interview with Richie Hawtin over at djtechtools here.
