You might have noticed a new icon in the header of my blog. But if you haven’t, it’s a smaller version of the icon to your left (assuming you’re viewing this in a browser and not an RSS reader, mobile browser or Facebook). It’s the new iTunes 10 icon, and for those who were under a rock yesterday, one of the new features in iTunes 10 is Apple’s social network Ping. Here’s what Apple has to say about Ping:
Discover new music by going social with Ping. Learn even more about your favorite artists and friends starting with their bios. See what they’ve been up to — even listen to 30-second previews of music they like. Find out when and where artists and bands are on tour, and check out photos and videos they’ve posted. With Ping, a community of the world’s most passionate music fans is just a click away.
Sounds pretty cool. If you’ve got iTunes installed on your computer (Mac or Windows) or if you’re on an iOS device, simply click the iTunes 10 icon at the top of my page and iTunes should open and take you to my Ping profile. Of course, iTunes 10 is required and as always, is a free download (updates automatically on iOS devices).
