Music streaming service Saavn has tied-up with Twitter India and introduced a tweet-based online radio station for its users. The new station which will be available globally for its users is one of the first new initiatives to make the service more social. Saavan CEO Rishi Malhotra told TechCrunch that the service is preparing more social features next year, but he said that these new releases will be within the Saavn service itself, such as collaborative playlists. Earlier in November, Saavn had partnered with online retailer Snapdeal.com, to offer Android users making purchases through Snapdeal's mobile site free subscriptions to their premium service for two months. How it works Users need to tweet a song request to Saavn radio's twitter handle @SaavnRadio. The lineup of the songs will be curated via interactions with Saavn's users on Twitter and will be refreshed every few minutes. The lineup will also be influenced and updated by Saavn users shared listening activity on Twitter but priority will be given to explicit requests for songs. The new feature will also include a confirmation to users when their song is being played on the radio. Users will also receive an @mention alert when their requests are played. You have to be careful about the spelling of the song when making a request if you want a match as seen from these tweets from SaavnRadio's twitter handle. @SaavnRadio aww, ok maybe Dilliwali Girlfriend from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani? :) — Anushka (@itsmeanushka) December 4, 2014 @itsmeanushka Bleep, bloop, error. ;)…
