Is a Twitter Music Service a Threat to Pandora?

CNET recently reported that Twitter has acquired We Are Hunted, a music discovery service similar to Pandora (NYSE: P  ) . CNET asserts that Twitter plans to use the acquisition to launch its own music discovery service through an iOS app that could come as early as the end of this month.

In the video below, Fool.com's Alison Southwick asks contributor Daniel Sparks whether Twitter's new music service is a threat to Pandora. Furthermore, Daniel discusses why Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) Google Play, Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI  ) , and Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) iTunes can stand their own against free online radio services like Pandora.

There's no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology's largest revolution ever, and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded with over 1,000% gains. However, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool's senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple, and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.
