Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Hip-hop artist Talib Kweli was one of the first musicians to get into Turntable.fm , the still-in-beta service that lets users spin tunes in avatar-filled chatrooms. Now he has his very own avatar — and Turntable’s first verified account. Turntable.fm posted a video of Kweli at the startup’s office, as well as pictures of his cap-wearing avatar. We can see more musicians getting their own avatars; the site is becoming an increasingly popular venue in which to premiere tracks. ( Paste magazine has been partnering with musicians to drop albums, and Ra Ra Riot’s Mathieu Santos showcased his solo project on the site, to name a few converts.) Lady Gaga and Kanye West are also rumored to have invested in TT.fm. A few weeks ago, the coveted Deadmau5 avatar was removed from the site with the message: "Deadmau5 avatar has been reserved for the actual deadmau5. So instead, may we present our awesome monkey couple." Perhaps now Joel Zimmerman — the man inside the Deadmau5 head — will visit HQ to score his very own verified account? We certainly hope so.
