Twitter + Traktor + DJs?

So Ritchie Hawtin announced today the release (well, maybe not the release, but the "existence of") a Twitter app that ties into his favourite digital dj system, Traktor Pro.

The short of it is that Traktor will spit out tweets to Ritchie's Twitter account, so you'll see live, in real time, just what he's spinning, whether you're at the club or on the other side of the planet.

Kind of neat...but is it really anything more than a toy?

There are definite pros and cons, and Beatportal beat (ha) me to the punch with a great summary that I can't really add much to, except that I'm not really sure this is going to "change everything", with the exception of squeezing the heck out of the "hype circle" as they call it and promoting piracy. That one I definitely see being a problem.

But that Ritchie Hawtin guy, what a jerk. 17,000 followers and he follows nobody? But I guess that's the point, our man is a leader. :)
