Twisten up people. We all know that the recent Twitter craze has seen an explosion of awkwardly-named companies with Tw prefixes. While in so many cases this is a sorry attempt by an unneeded product already on its way out to steal a little Twitter glory, it might be worth taking another twook at Twisten.fm, a next gen music search tool by Escape Media Group. Twisten.fm searches through Twitter feeds from either the people you follow or the live feed from all Twitter users, grabs any comment that mentions a song and artist and automatically links up to streaming music library Grooveshark to play the tune. Twisten.fm not only acts as a live radio for the music everyone’s talking about but also allows you to get real time music recommendations from your friends.

Twisten.fm is just one of Escape Media Group’s online media resources based around Grooveshark. Their other Twitter tools is TinySong, a URL shortener that creates a direct link to a strreamable song in the Grooveshark library. Don’t be surprised if you see a number of TinySong links as you’re browsing Twisten.fm.

Together, Twisten.fm and TinySong combined with the massive online music library Grooveshark means that makers Escape Media Group are definitely ones to watch in the online media sphere but in the meantime, why not have a twisten to what your friends are talking about on Twitter? You might just find a new favourite twune.
