Havana, May 28 (EFE).- The Cuban government will expand the number of public Internet connection points with new Web-surfing rooms as part of its policy of facilitating "social" online access, but Internet use in private homes will continue to be restricted.

Twitter on Thursday waded into the competitive digital music sector with a service that recommends tunes based on what folks are tweeting about and lets users sample songs they might like. The San Francisco-based firm said Twitter #music would "change the way people find music" by using activity on the popular micro-blogging site to "detect and surface the most popular tracks and emerging artists." "It also brings artists' music-related Twitter activity front and center. And, of course, you can tweet songs right from the app," Stephen Philips wrote in a company blog post.
