Hello Nic The thought of users being able to see my network usage unnerves me, to be honest. Or at least sharing our buying information unnerves me. But I can see the advantage of it in some respects.

Ping also enables artists to make posts linking directly to their albums, or keep their followers updated with tour dates, current events, what they're doing and so-forth. Users can then comment on it and discuss it as they wish, or review user or artist profile. I personally use it on occasion, as it lets me link to Twitter so when I buy an album, I can choose to write a reason for buying the album which is then published on Twitter along with a direct link to the album in iTunes. You don't have to do this, however, so you can simply skip it. Regards, Nic On Sep 22, 2011, at 3:19 PM, Chris Moore wrote: > Lynne, > > Ping is Apple's attempt at social networking.
