September 20, 201213 yr I went onto iTunes to check my Ping status, and this popped up: I personally loved Ping! I liked being able to connect with my favorite artists without having to have a Facebook. :cry:
September 20, 201213 yr I'm not surprised Ping's gone. Apple need to start integrating apps into Facebook for the company to expand in the social networking world... just as Spotify and Last.fm have.

I can't imagine why Apple would have any trouble in the social networking world though. They're doing very well without this.
September 21, 201213 yr That was a quite fast decay, actually you can't decay without getting sucessful first, ping never had that, but I would never thought it would get to an end so fast.
September 21, 201213 yr I never used Ping. I don't have an iTunes account, and even if I did, I've been using Last.fm/friends' recommendations/random YouTube excursions long before that came out, and that has always served me just fine.
September 21, 201213 yr I can see how it would be useful to someone without facebook but why dont you have facebook
September 21, 201213 yr Ping always looked like Twitter that was only for musicians and was the exact same posts that those same musicians already posted on their Twitter. Which is why people just stuck with Twitter.

September 21, 201213 yr It's something Apple tried to do on their own... ...and failed. Like iOS 6 Maps
September 21, 201213 yr It's something Apple tried to do on their own... ...and failed. Like iOS 6 Maps Can you explain to me why that's so bad? I've used it a few times and it works really well for me.
September 21, 201213 yr It might have worked, but it didn't get the long-term support. Like Google with Buzz & Wave, they might have worked, but with limited long-term support so they got axed and the enginners moved to different projects.
