Not sure I agree. I've enjoyed how intentional SoundCloud's updates have been over the last few years without trying to do too much (like every music service ever). The changes have been subtle but useful for both power-users and casual listeners.

I think their approach to discovery needs some attention, but definitely wouldn't expect Twitter to be instrumental in helping with that.

I'm biased, as I'd hate to see anything ruin what I think is one of the best music services right now.

This is exactly how I feel - SoundCloud is one of the best music services out there and I use it to discover the majority of the new artists and music that I enjoy these days. People are also posting awesome mixes and more lengthy content for free. Their mobile app is well thought out, too.

It would be sad to see an acquisition from Twitter, because I think they're going to make it whatever they think they need to compete, which will ruin what SoundCloud is now.
