Ping
- About one third of everyone that's downloaded iTunes 10 has activated Ping.
- Ping is the culmination of Apple's acquisition of music social service Lala.
- Pictures uploaded to Ping go through an internal moderation process before appearing on the site. The accepted social media norm is to have the community moderate.
- Currently, there's no way of importing your friends and contacts from other social network services. That means you'll be adding all your contacts again, one by one.
