While Facebook and Apple are still working things out over the Ping social music service, Twitter has decided to hook up with Apple, allowing users of the 140-character microblogging service to spread the joy of music they purchase in iTunes. This partnership means there are a few new things for users of both services.
According to the Twitter Blog, you will now be able to link your Twitter account to iTunes Ping, which will in turn automatically tweet for you whenever you post, like, review, or tell your friends why you purchased a song or album on Ping.
In addition, when you're logged into the Twitter web interface, you will be able to click someone's Ping tweet and have a playable song or album pop up in the Twitter detail pane.
According to the post, this feature is currently available to Twitter users in the 23 countries where the iTunes Store is supported.
