Well yes you can.

I’m new to this issue, and there may well be other ways that I haven’t seen yet, but I was just put onto this today and it looks like a very neat solution – albeit that the people behind it are running to catch up with demand and get the bugs out of their system.

Don’t be discouraged though, and do go and check out Twiturm.

It very simply addresses the issue of not wanting to host your music in one location, needing to create a tiny url and then posting that link. With Twiturm you store, stream and post your music straight into Twitter. Very smooth indeed.

In fact, it’s so smooth that you already actually have a Twiturmaccount just because you have a Twitter account. It drags your info out of Twitter using the same log-in and password. Then the process of uploading a file to their hosting (or linking to hosting elsewhere) is so easy. You can allow people to download the track (or not) and you set the genre description. Then you tweet the link from inside Twiturm. I like this a lot!

Fans and people browsing for music through the site itself can see everything split up by a comprehensive list of genres. My guess is that, over time, it’ll be a destination in itself for really savvy music fans – exactly the kind of people you are looking for to spread the word about you.

Looks like a winner to me, but I’m equally interested in hearing how you are going about getting your music heard via Twitter. Leave a comment and please let us know.
