iTunes Ping, or simply Ping, was a software-based, music-oriented social networking and recommender system developed and operated by Apple Inc. It was announced and launched on September 1, 2010,[2] as part of the tenth major release of iTunes.[3] The service launched with 1 million members[4][a] in 23 countries.[5]
The service allowed users to follow artists and see short, timely postings by both friends and artists. Ping was also accessible via iTunes for the iPhone and iPod Touch.[6]
Apple officially closed the service on September 30, 2012, and replaced it with Facebook and Twitter integration in iTunes.[7]
