"We continue to experiment with new ways to bring you great content based on the music activity we see every day on Twitter," read the next tweet.Designed as a music sharing platform, Twitter #music launched after the social network bought the "We Are Hunted" music discovery app. The new service never really gained traction; and rumors were circulating as early as October 2013 that it would [be scrapped](https://www.hypebot.com/twitter-music-app-likely-being-pulled-but-whats-next-for-music-at-twitter/).Topspin SVP Bob Moczydlowsky joined last year as [head of Twitter Music](https://www.hypebot.com/topspin-svp-moz-moves-to-twitter-to-head-music/), and is said to be working on integrating music with Twitter's central experience, rather than as a separate app.
