Twitter Music app drops down iTunes charts
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 1 May 2013
It’s too early to write it off entirely just yet, but Twitter’s somewhat lacklustre music app hasn’t exactly set the world on fire since launching earlier this month.
Mashable notes that on Saturday, nine days after launching, it dropped out of the top 100 free iOS apps in the iTunes Store (though it did remain in the top ten music apps earlier this week). In the UK it’s faring even worse, not even appearing in the top 300 and, as of this morning, sitting at number 34 in the free music app chart.
As previously reported, last week the exec who led development of the app, Kevin Thau, departed Twitter for Jelly Industries, the new company being led by Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, who himself departed the micro-blogging business last June.
