In September with the launch of i -tunes new update, Steve Jobs the CEO of Apple also unveiled there all new social media network called Apple Ping. Ping is very similar to other social networking sights such as Facebook and Twitter. The thing that sets Ping apart from other social networks, is that it specializes with your music. With ping your capable of building a profile find your friends and favorite artists and connecting with them in the same ways as Facebook such as commenting on their post and pictures. As well as seeing what your friends have lately been listening too, or bands that they're following. You can also see local concert listings, and even shows that you're friends are wanting to go to.
I think that apple ping will revolutionize the way we network and discuss music with our friends. Since its built to i -tunes, and i -tunes already has 160 million user. I for see this new form of social networking becoming a hit. With the simplicity of the design of Ping its so simple to create your profile and begin networking wit your friends and favorite artists in just minutes.

If Apple could come up with a way to use Ping with Facebook, then they've got something golden...but I don't imagine FB will be too accommodating in that respect. I wonder if the difference is enough that people would migrate from Facebook? My guess is that the second they do, Facebook installs some music library features.
