Twitter Music Chart: A Billboard Hot 100 for Twitter? →
The Hype Machine is not happy with any of the Twitter-based solutions on the market. Specifically, they call out their quality, their lack of transparency, and their lack of innovation. So Hype Machine built its own Twitter music service: Twitter Music Chart, which utilizes a simple algorithm to not only share music, but to rank songs in a fashion reminiscent of the Billboard 100.
Been playing with since the boys have launched it. It’s a great way, besides the Popular page, to quickly discover new & old tracks. Love it.
What I particularly love about it, is that unlike the actual Billboard charts, it is free (for now?) from all that major mainstream crap à la Nickelback, Linkin Park and whatnot. The fact that just a certain amount of blogs (about 1200) get tracked keeps it somewhat free of above mentioned douchebags.
That’s another strike there, Anthony & Taylor - well done.
