Ping Playlists
Apple introduced Ping in September along with iTunes 10 during the company’s fall iPod-related media event. At the time, company CEO Steve Jobs said Ping was “like Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes,” although it didn’t support either social networking service.
Facebook support was touted as a feature before the Ping launch, but was pulled because Apple and Facebook couldn’t strike a deal. Apple recently, however, added Twitter integration to Ping so users can tweet their iTunes purchases, posts, reviews, and song and album Likes.
Ping is free and requires an iTunes account. The service is available via the iTunes application, and on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
