Just seven days after the official launch of Twitter’s new music discovery app, aptly named Twitter #Music, the man who led the project from the beginning has parted ways for a new start-up.
The application, which recommends music to users based on what Soundcloud, iTunes, Spotify or Rdio are being shared, was announced just last Thursday (18 April).
Now, as Music Week report, Kevin Thau has left the company to head a new mysterious venture from Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, entitled Jelly. Not much known of this new project, simply that Thau has become the new chief operating officer (COO).
