Guess what?!! Twitter wants to start making money!

Guess what?! Twitter, iTunes and the iTunes social network Ping have signed a deal to allow you to log into Ping via Twitter. Why? because then you can share your music tastes with your Twitter followers directing them to spend more money! Great right?

On Ping you can easily link to your Twitter account to instantly find Ping users among the people you already follow on Twitter.

Once you’ve linked the accounts, whenever you Post, Like, Review, or tell your friends why you purchased a song or album on Ping, this activity will also be tweeted to your Twitter followers – complete with playable song previews and links to purchase and download music from iTunes.

When you click on a Tweet that’s sent via Ping or that contains an iTunes link, you’ll see the song or album in Twitter’s details pane, with the ability to listen to song previews from iTunes, making the experience even richer.

iTunes song previews are available on Twitter.com in the 23 countries where the iTunes Store offers music.
