Love it or hate it iTunes is huge and probably part of your existence in some capacity. By the numbers – 11.7 billion songs, over 450 million TV episodes, 100 million movies, 35 million books, and over 160 million accounts in 23 countries. Today Apple announced their latest and greatest version of iTunes as iTunes 10. Brand new logo, a face-lifted UI and also introduced Ping.
Ping as described by Jobs “Twitter and Facebook meet iTunes.” As part of the iTunes 10, Ping allows you to follow and be followed by your friends and artist to see what they are listening post comments, view concert listing etc. Though it was briefly touched on, there were settings for privacy so you may share as much or as little as you want. Let’s hope Apple doesn’t take a page out of Facebook policy.
Ping is available to sign up today.
What's up with the "iTunes of the Living Dead"? Why the flat, greyed out, life-less look? Who were the idiots they tried the beta of this out on? And "Ping" facebook link gone, email and invite your friends… NOT. This is a fail for now. Wait for the next fix!!! Apple give us our color back. This is starting to sound like our government….."This is what you need…shut up, sit down and like it!"
