In recent months, Twitter has been exploding with popularity. In part, this explosion is due to a an increasing number of celebrities using Twitter to connect with their fans. Celebrities aside, there are many other features that are drawing people to twitter in droves; on the music side of things, Blip.fm, is a great example.

The concept is pretty simple: you want to share songs and comment about them to the world. Of course you’ve been able to do this for years, but it has never been so simple. Type in an artist or song name and Blip will pull up a list of songs you can instantly listen to, preview and post. You then have 150 characters to explain the significance of the song. The updates can be placed on your Twitter account to share with friends and the world.

When you combine this powerful service with users and even celebrities sharing their musical tastes, you open up an entire conversation for the masses. This social media allows users and companies (including @OurStage) alike, to interact and share their musical tastes almost instantly. So if you’re tweeting, give blipping (can it be made into a verb yet?) a try to share your favorite music with the world.
