A little over two years ago we embarked on a project called TwittyTunes. This addition to FoxyTunes was an experiment in letting people share what they listen to by posting to Twitter. Over time we’ve received lots of great feedback about TwittyTunes and have seen healthy use in our community. Thank you!

Today we’re excited to announce that TwittyTunes is officially a default feature within FoxyTunes! In addition to Twitter we’ve add support for Facebook, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, Last.fm, and Yahoo! Status. With these services we let you share on your own terms – you can manually send messages to your social networks as well as setting up automatic services like Last.fm scrobbling. Install the new FoxyTunes now and begin by clicking on the share button shown below:

FoxyTunes is still the easiest way to share what you’re listening to. With one click you can let your friends on multiple social networks know what you’re listening to.

You can also automatically update your Skype and Yahoo! Messenger statuses while scrobbling directly to Last.fm.

This is a big step in sharing music on the web. It connects you and your friends with your music in real-time across the web. You can discover what your friends are listening to no matter where they listen to it – then get more info about the music through FoxyTunes Planet and Y! Music. Share more and discover great music!

We will be working hard over the coming months to add more services to TwittyTunes and make your sharing experience even simpler and easier. As always, please let us know what you think of this new major version of FoxyTunes. Also, we would love to hear what services should be in our next release. We thrive on your comments.

If you like it, tell your friends!

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!

So, you’re listening to some tunes and you suddenly feel the urge to let all your friends know about the great song that just started playing…

TwittyTunes to the rescue! It’s our latest Firefox extension that integrates between FoxyTunes and Twitter, allowing one click posting of music currently playing in any one of supported media players to your Twitter profile.

And that’s not all – TwittyTunes posts more than just the song title – your friends will see a link to Foxytunes Planet where the song you were listening to comes to life – with tons of info about the artist, photos, song videos and much more!

As a bonus, TwittyTunes allows posting the current website you’re browsing, video you’re watching and so on. It will even work without FoxyTunes if you’re only after posting websites and general Twitter updates.

Grab TwittyTunes here and let us know what you think!

Also, you can go to TwittyTunes Twitter page and add us as your friend to be the first ones to get all the latest updates and announcements.
