SPOTIFY IS DEVELOPING ‘COMMUNITY,’ A NEW PLACE TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS’ ACTIVITY IN THE MOBILE APP, techcrunch
This is brilliant and something that should have already existed! Not only will this feature allow users to see what sort of music their friends are streaming in real-time, but they’ll also be able to view playlists friends have recently updated.
