We all here at FoxyTunes want to express our support for the struggle to save the future of Internet radio.

Today is the “day of silence“, in which Web music broadcasters such as Yahoo, Pandora, Rhapsody, MTV and many others express their protest against the extremely high new Internet radio royalty rates that threaten the future of music as we all envision it.

You can also help the struggle – learn more about the subject and (if you’re in the United States) call your congressional representative today.

Don’t let the music die!

Today we’re releasing a cool new Twitter and FoxyTunes integration service – we call it “FoxyTunes Twitter DJ“.

FoxyTunes DJ is a new Twitter channel with music recommendations from a selected group of “FoxyTunes DJs”. Our first featured DJs are:

• Fred Wilson (A VC, Union Square Ventures)
• Chris Messina (Co-founder, Citizen Agency) – we’d also like to thank Chris for his feedback and advice with this new service
• Ouriel Ohayon (Editor, TechCrunch France; General Manager LightSpeed Gemini Internet Lab)
• Jason Herskowitz (Director – Music Products, AOL)

Also, the new service allows all Twitter users to share their favorite songs with the community. Just add FoxyTunesDJ as your Twitter friend, wait for a few moments until FoxyTunesDJ adds you back and use TwittyTunes to send your music recommendations to FoxyTunesDJ by prefixing it with “@FoxyTunesDJ”. All community recommendations will appear on this FoxyTunes Planet page.

One last thing – in order to make posting to FoxyTunesDJ easier – we added a new drop down option to the latest version of TwittyTunes – get it here!
