Apple creates new iTunes Twitter accounts
Just like the Facebook pages that Apple has set up for iTunes and the iTunes Trailers Twitter account, Apple has just set up several Twitter accounts for iTunes, which cover Music, Podcasts, Movies and TV Shows. First, the Music account, twitter.com/iTunesMusic , will provide information on "new releases, pre-orders, iTunes LP, exclusive offers and more."
Second, the Podcasting account, twitter.com/iTunesPodcasts , will provide a "Podcast Episode of the Day, from iTunes Podcasting."
Next, the iTunes Movies account, twitter.com/iTunesMovies , doesn't contain a description, but does contain one tweet so far, and it looks like it will be used for Movies on the iTunes Store.
Finally, the iTunes TV account, twitter.com/iTunesTV , which contains no tweets yet, will provide "Official TV updates from the U.S. iTunes Store on Twitter."
Will these accounts make a impact on what you discover in the iTunes Store? Let us know in the comments below!

I still want a music video account...
October 20 2009 at 9:58 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWhat I find most interesting is that Apple seems to have created their own link-shortening service, like TinyURL or Bit.ly or the like. Tw.itunes.com isn't the shortest starting URL I've seen, but it looks like they're starting with three-character codes. I wonder, with case-sensitive alphanumeric combos, how many links will they be able to create before they have to update to four digits? Still, it brings their actual tweet content down to 115 characters.
