    this is going to kill myspace music, for one thing. is that so terrible though? i'd much rather see money go to apple than newscorp and the fox family.

    Yup. Apple run a music store, and now have a social thing attached to the music store where everyone can post charts and talk about the music they like, and even BUY IT from the music store... $$$ for Apple!

    I'll stick with Soundcloud, thanks.

    Yeah but if it's Apple you'll be able to buy a fan-App that increases the ammount of fans you have by 100.

    this is actually kinda funny

    Unlike Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a public profile on Ping, the iTunes social network.

    Zuckerberg likely wanted to see what the new social network on the block had to offer. The second person to leave a comment on Zuckerberg's page told him all he needs to know: "nothing to worry about here... Ping kinda sucks."

    I'm not sure we will, Mark. Web trends kind of dictate that the negativity toward it so soon indicates a fail. Look at Google Buzz. On the Net a company is only allowed to grow so big before it's nipped in the bud.
